About this ebook

A girl with a special ability. A secret mission. A discovery that will change everything.

Aria lives in two worlds. The first is the flooded ruins of Los Angeles, where she spends her days scavenging for long-forgotten treasures.

The second is the surface, where if people knew she could breathe under water, she would be shipped off to a detention facility for aberrations. Her only reprieve from reality is The Colonists, which live-streams the life of her longtime crush, Enrique.

When the opportunity to join the Colonists arises, Aria leaves everything behind to try out for a life of adventure—and, perhaps, romance.

But the selection process is more perilous than she could have imagined and when her secret comes out, the real danger begins.

From USA Today-bestselling author Madeline Freeman comes a futuristic spin on The Little Mermaid, full of adventure, romance, and out-of-this-world excitement. Fans of Marissa Meyer will love this pulse-pounding retelling!

Enjoyable retelling The Little mermaid was by itself an enjoyable fairy tale. In Speechless, the author had managed to bring it out excellently well, making Aria as an aberration who can breathe underwater. Aria’s dream is to go to the colony on Mars and that starts her adventure in the story. Aria has been etched very well and the essence of her character especially her determination comes out very well in the story. I enjoyed the retelling with the novel elements brought in to suit the futuristic story.
