Sylvia and her mother live in a luxurious penthouse apartment, high above a world that terrifies them both. Terrified and anxious, Sylvia lives in constant fear that she might one day have to leave the apartment. She has no friends in the whole world.

Until her mother buys a mermaid.

Horrified and fascinated in equal measure, Sylvia has no idea how to react to the creature that's now living in a special tank at the heart of the apartment. Soon, however, she discovers that unlike her mother's art collection, this latest purchase isn't just a mild diversion.

Sylvia's mother is dying, and the mermaid might just be able to save her. But at what price? And how will both Sylvia and the mermaid react when they learn the awful truth?

The Mermaid's Revenge is the story of a terrified girl who finds herself coming face-to-face with one of the most unusual creatures in the world, and about a woman who'll stop at nothing – even murder – to get what she wants.
