Lies We Sing to the Sea is a YA fantasy standalone by a debut author. Each spring, a kingdom condemns 12 girls to die to sate the centuries-old curse a god placed upon their land. When one of the sacrificed girls wakes up on a mysterious island, she and the island’s lone resident form a plan: go undercover at the palace and kill the crown prince. If they succeed, the curse will be broken and no more girls will be sacrificed… but at what personal cost?
