Year Four (Kingmakers, #4)

by Sophie Lark

Being a lone wolf is . . . lonely.

“Women are always more than they seem.”

Russian mermaids are called rusalki. They’re the malevolent spirits of girls who die near water. Perhaps they leapt in a river to escape an unhappy marriage, or they might have been forcibly drowned by a father who discovered his daughter pregnant with an unwanted child. They haunt waterways, luring young men into the deep where they entangle their prey in their long red hair and drag them down.
