Fantasy Book Group with Ashli
Discusses Devil of the Deep by Falencia Jean-Francois

Led by Greenlight Events Coordinator Ashli, the Fantasy Book Group meets monthly to explore the realm of fantasy storytelling, from cozy to romantasy, high to urban or contemporary, YA to anthologies, and more! Whether you're a lifelong fantasy lover or a burgeoning fan, we welcome you here.

In June, the group discusses Devil of the Deep by Falencia Jean-Francois, a newly published debut following Lieutenant "Lu" Ortega, a dutiful fleet officer who watched the love of his life, Nenna, walk the plank and sink into the inky-black depths of the sea. Now, five years later, on a mission to hunt down a powerful talisman in the hands of a runaway mermaid, Lu discovers the impossible: Nnenna is still alive. Fierce and cunning, and as breathtaking as ever, Nnenna's won enough bloody sword fights as a pirate captain to earn the nickname “Devil of the Deep.” And she's protecting the very quarry he's tracking: Pearl Highwater. When the tides and fates bring them together, Nnenna, Lu, and Pearl must choose their loyalties, find their courage, and race to protect the island from false gods and forces of evil—or risk unleashing an ancient curse that could destroy them all.
