The Mermaid

Synopsis

You can't run away from who you are. I find myself reaffirming this to myself every now and then. And even though the idea is as fixed in my head as the sun is fixed in the universe, I tirelessly seek to be someone else. Anyone. Except myself. I was born this way. I cannot change who I am. I was banished from my clan. I was banned too long ago. And now, to survive, I must go against everything I am, against the habits of my own kind. Decades ago, they called us Sirens, and told us we were dangerous. Well, one side of me is. And he is very hungry.

“Realmente no inicio não dei muito pela história mas algo nela chamava a minha atenção. Então resolvi lê o primeiro capitulo. E não me arrependo. Cada palavra da autora me prendia cada vez mais a história e lê-la para mim foi um ótimo lazer. A autora escreve incrivelmente bem e o seu enredo é perfeito. Realmente muito instigante e emocionante.”

In a city devastated by war, we follow the journey of two survivors who have learned, each in their own way, to live with violence, loss, and loneliness. He does not know that he saved her life. She knows only that he is more dangerous than the killers who threatened her. Neither of them seeks company. Nor do they believe that there is still room for kindness in a world where surviving demands so much. But a dead boy and an almost insignificant act of kindness end up intertwining their fates. Between small acts of care, silences, and difficult choices, two strangers discover that surviving the war may not be as difficult as learning to live after everything they have lost.

In a world subjugated by unstable gods and ruthless tyrants, blood carries both the burden of slavery and the key to the ruin of empires. Jack Another was once human, but after relentless surgical interventions, he became the cyborg leader of a fascist dictatorship. Under the banner of the New Era of Hunters, his goal is to colonize and subjugate the draconians in the name of a new deity: Dante Alighieri.

Nicolas has always been a difficult child to keep up with. At five years old, he has energy to spare, an appetite that seems endless, and a collection of questions that his mother doesn't always know how to answer. Lately, however, some things have begun to worry Jaqueline. Her son complains of pains that no one can explain, spends restless nights, and displays behaviors that are increasingly difficult to understand. Between appointments, tests, and medical recommendations, she tries to find an explanation. When an incident in a class leaves another child seriously injured, Jaqueline begins to fear that she is missing something important. She just doesn't imagine how right she is.

Clara dá aulas de português para estrangeiros e faz magia desde pequena. Joana só sabe da primeira parte. Até aparecer para um café dizendo que visitou a escola onde a amiga trabalha, numa cidade que não aparece no mapa. A primeira pista está num material didático: alguém está ensinando pessoas comuns a encontrar lugares mágicos sem explicar o que vão descobrir. Os percursos levam a uma biblioteca fechada, documentos alterados e moradores que não querem ver suas casas transformadas em cenário de exercício. Com a confiança da amiga abalada, Clara precisa descobrir quem está distribuindo aquelas instruções e por quê. E explicar há quanto tempo vinha deixando Joana do lado de fora.
