Sure that the mermaid brought this man to her for a reason, Margrethe devises a plan to bring peace to her kingdom. As Margrethe nurses the handsome stranger back to health, she learns that not only is he a prince, he is also the son of her father’s greatest rival. By the time Margrethe reaches the shore, the mermaid has disappeared into the sea. One gloomy, windswept morning, as she stands in a convent garden overlooking the icy sea, she witnesses a miracle: a glittering mermaid emerging from the waves, a nearly drowned man in her arms. Princess Margrethe has been hidden away while her kingdom is at war. The Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale by Carolyn Turgeon
