A Mermaid's Odyssey Adam Carter

Years ago, a heroic knight fell in love with a beautiful mermaid and a child was conceived. Now, as her mother is murdered, eighteen-year-old Misako must flee her ocean home and venture into the land of the humans. Yet war has been raging between faeries and humans for generations and each side labels the hybrid girl a monster. Emotionally unstable and without any guidance, she roams the land in search of her fabled father. Innocent and naïve, Misako quickly falls foul of human greed and immorality, while always striving to find the goodness in human hearts. Her search takes her from fishermen to pirates, from mountains to forests. Every experience makes her stronger, every loss makes her weaker. She discovers the true horror of war and suffers the extreme hardships of being different. Ever searching for a place to belong, Misako refuses to give up hope of finding her father - the man who may not be quite the hero she needs. A coming-of-age story about the love, fury and sadness of a child born of two races, but belonging to neither.
