A Tide of Treason

by A.B. Daniels-Annachi

The Poppy War meets The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi in this queer adult fantasy.

"A high-seas adventure unlike any you've ever read. Daniels-Annachi amazes in this utterly unique take on The Little Mermaid." -Samantha R. Goode, author of Bound & Barbed

For Veshak, the sea is both his home and his battleground. He sails the open waters as a privateer, striking against those who once betrayed his homeland. But when a lost secret from Aatma’s downfall surfaces—one forged in blood and iron—he finds himself at the center of a deadly conspiracy that could change the balance of power across the world.

Hunted by the forces of the Iron King, Zara’s only hope lies in an uneasy alliance with Veshak. A fierce and enigmatic being of the deep with secrets of her own, she will do anything to save those she loves and protect her family legacy.
As their fates unravel and failure looms on the horizon, Veshak and Zara must decide whether to chase vengeance or trust the tides of fate to lead them toward something greater.

A sweeping tale of rebellion, betrayal, and the call of the sea, A Tide of Treason is perfect for fans of high-stakes adventure and political intrigue.

I hate unrealistic politics, this book follows three useless royals. All of whom should inherit their thrones, all of whom should be highly trained in battle, strategy, diplomacy and politics in order to do so. All three are the most incompetent characters I have read about in a long while, they all run from their duties, none achieve their goals in the end, and they have very little personality besides their desire not to be royal. I get that it's a take on the little mermaid but there was a clear cut plot line in that story? I would have preferred the MFC to feel like she was walking on knives, she might have been motivated to do something.

The mermaid equivalent character is constantly running off, she gets her sister killed, her father is exiled so she exiles herself? In a time when her people need her? Looking for answers behind a rot in the ocean, which she doesn't find. Instead she falls in love with the pirate captain, trans prince, who has shirked his duties to be a privateer. A very bad privateer. Happening upon a royal ship from the country that hurt his mother, with the prince on board, he decides to put in action the least realistic plan ever. He will pretend to be this prince (they share a mother so have similar features) and kill the king. He does not kill the king, he is weak, he does not put on a convincing act as the prince yet nobody says anything besides the barber (it's never explained where he goes after the discovery? It's not public?) then be decides he wants the throne for himself to improve the land? He also decides he wants to marry the mermaid, despite her backing out of the plan... The only reason that fails is that kidnapped prince number three finally gets his act together and manages to escape, get back to his kingdom and expose everything. Then some major plot, that makes no sense because when did the sea witch meet the random enemy duke, is exposed and dealt with within about two chapters at the end.

The magic system is somewhat interesting but barely explained. It is said to pass through the matriarchy but the prince (kidnapped) finds he had magic? Also, it's not a point of dysphoria for the trans prince despite apparently being dependent on him being female? So it felt a bit forced to have him be transgender? Also, I only skimmed the awful sex scene but male genitals were definitely mentioned... Unsure how he was unable to remove his breasts and has to wrap them, but has somehow gained a penis? Add it to the long list of plot points that make no sense in this book.

Finally, the epilogue consisted of the asexual prince being rejected by his best friend/ person he loves for being asexual... Man says I love you, you are enough but I need more? As an asexual reader that was an awful moment to read and it added nothing to the book? So I don't understand its inclusion...

Unrealistic characters, politics and plot.

Many thanks to NetGalley and for the opportunity to read this eARC. My opinions are entirely my own.

3,5⭐️

This was a very unique and intriguing read structured in three POVs: Dorian, Veshak and Zara. In the beginning, I failed to connect to the first two characters, but I wanted to give it a try and pass page 100 because Zara’s story and personality spoke to me. I’m glad I did, because as I went on, I began to understand the Dorian and Veshak a lot more. I was surprised that my initial thoughts about Veshak changed completely, and by the middle of the book, I was completely hooked.

This story contains fantastical elements and creatures, combined with intrigues, alliances, betrayals, morally grey characters and a spark of romance. I liked how despite the fantasy element, the subplots brought something real and raw to it. It was a beautiful combination, one that kept me glued to the pages to the end. I also particularly enjoyed the Indian cultural elements, and I think they fit very well in Zara’s story of her people and pollution. I would have loved to have that plot even more accentuated than it was.

I had an issue at the beginning of the novel because I was rather confused at what’s happening and where the story was going. It became clear nearing the middle of the book, but I couldn’t help but feel that it should have happened sooner. For instance, I felt that the action Zara’s story, although my favourite, began quite late, I think around page 140. The end and the battle felt rushed. I would have preferred it if it was the other way around, a smaller introduction and a better developed ending.

All in all, it was a good and easy read that left me pleasantly surprised, and I couldn’t wait to see what happens in the final moments of the book. I’ll surely check more of the author’s work in the future!

I wish I was able to like this more!

Pros: great world building, love the creatures and the magic!

Cons: I just couldn’t like any of the characters, or connect with them. Also it seems we lost a few plot points along the way.


I’m a bit on the fence about this book, but I say give it a try and who knows maybe this will be a great read for you!

A Tide of Treason features mermaids, pirates, and monsters from mythos. A little mermaid retelling with Indian cultural elements, queer and trans rep, and a message of environmental concern.
We follow three different POVs - Prince Dorian is a naive idealist whose heart is in the right place, Veshak is a privateer determined to earn the respect of his crew, and Zara the mermaid wants to save the katalval from the rot that has been infecting them. We see their lives intersecting fairly quickly and the adventure that follows is entertaining, tense, and has high stakes.
My favorite part was the battle with the kraken. The most gripping moments, for me the pirate lover, was when our cast was together on the ship headed to Raktam.

2 stars, unfortunately this book didn't work for me! I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Thanks BooksGoSocial and NetGalley.

I'm getting real tired of the comparisons to well-known books that marketing will slap on to any new book. I saw nothing similar to The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi beyond South Asian and queer representation. I haven't read The Poppy War series, but from everything I've heard, I think this would also be a poor comparison. On the other hand, if you're looking for The Little Mermaid with diverse representation and storylines that cross paths, this is the book for you.

A Tide of Treason follows three main characters: Zara, a katalval (mermaid), Dorian, and Veshak. Dorian and Veshak are humans with magic abilities, with Dorian having hallucinations of the gods and goddesses and the ability to communicate across far distances in visions, and Veshak having the ability to breathe and use fire. All three of our main characters are next in line to their thrones, and all three do their best to avoid responsibility. Dorian needs to get married before his coronation but doesn't want to. Zara needs to step up to take her deceased mother's place, but her grief holds her back. And Veshak is captain of a pirate ship but is doing a horrible job to the point his crew starts planning a mutiny.

The prologue explains Dorian's father married his mother from a neighboring kingdom, who had the magical ability in their bloodline. The king proceeds to siphon the iron in his wife's blood and uses that to enter the Iron Age and creates iron weapons to subjugate all the other kingdoms around him. And the prologue is narrated by the iron in the queen's blood. Yeah.

The story starts after a timejump, and we learn that iron tossed into the ocean leads to the rust infecting and killing the katalval with "rot" which is how Zara's mom dies. Zara decides to go forth and find the source of all the iron and stop the "rot" once and for all. Dorian refuses to get married and decides to get away from his responsibilities by hunting down katalval, which is supposedly how his mom die at sea. Veshak is being a bad captain but wants to hunt down the man responsible for hurting his mother before she fled and found her current husband, Veshak's father. All three of their storylines intersect and what comes out of it is a confusing mess. Unfortunately, by the end of the book, it's hard to see if any of them have truly grown up to take on the responsibility they were running away from.

There is so much told and not shown with our protagonist's decisions. For example, we're just told Dorian feels uncomfortable with marriage and is not at all interested. There's nothing substantial about his feelings that I could empathize with, and it just made me annoyed as the other two characters also had the same writing. Chapters were full of actions and decisions made, but there wasn't any transitions between scenes for breathing room to have some worldbuilding or mental reflection from the characters. And especially with the latter part, this was all first person writing, I would expect some emotional impact from the characters. But everything felt so impersonal, and I couldn't get myself to care about any of them.

The worldbuilding was also lacking, I had no clue there were gods or goddesses involved in this world until Dorian gets his first vision. The prologue was so trippy and confusing I thought there was a tiny person that was narrating until it was made more clear it was the iron talking.

I do appreciate the queer and South Asian representation, and I wish I could've enjoyed this book more than those qualities. I hope the author improves their writing and I wish them the best of luck.

[East of Reality · Rating 2 out of 5]

I struggled to stay invested in this book. First off, the prologue told from the POV of a palmful of blood taken from the queen was confusing — but at least interesting! — with the only downside being that that voice, the voice used for the blood, is the same voice used for every other character in the book. Everyone is so flat, stilted and stiff with neither personality nor an interest in reacting to any of the astonishing events happening around them.

It reads very monotone, and I honestly found it hard to remember which character I was reading from in various chapters — especially if I’d put the book down for a day or two. And once I put it down it was hard to pick it back up again; I just kept … forgetting about it. Nothing about this book really stuck with me, other than that prologue. And I can’t honestly say I enjoyed it.

This is a book where the ideas are, in my opinion, better than the story. The world building is paper thin, but there’s an effort made to make each of the three primary settings stand apart from the others. It’s a book full of action, but rather than being experienced by the characters or even actions taken by them … it’s the book telling me, over and over, what’s happening. This is also a book afraid of using “said” more than once a chapter, leading to musing, yelling, snapping, stating, murmuring and so on and so forth. Which … isn’t terrible, but along with the rest of the issues I was having in making myself continue reading, did get on my nerves a bit.

I’m just not the audience for this book, I think. I wanted more from the characters, more from the world, and for the plot to feel like anything that was happening mattered, even if only to one person. But if you’re more of an action-oriented person, this book might work for you. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc!
Unfortunately, except for the cover, there’s nothing else I actually liked about this book.
Was not a fan of the writing. The prologue did not grip me, neither did the first chapter or the whole book for that matter, which is typically the case with a good book. I pushed through only because I don’t like leaving things halfway.
The prologue was not good, even slightly confusing at first. The chapters ahead followed in the same vein, just barely strung together pieces. Not enough focus on the scenes; we jump from one to another in the matter of a sentence or two. Everything happens too fast, we don’t get enough time to spend with the characters (besides the main povs we follow, of course) nor the scenery, and then we are stuck on a ship for half of the book. We don’t really get the details needed to conjure an image in our heads, it’s simply words on paper for the sake of it, and you don’t even get a chance to be a part of it. The descriptions in general lack flow, feel choppy, mostly dialogue. Which is a shame because during the times there was more than a simple one-line characterization, it looked quite promising. The dialogue itself was not that bad, just not charming or convincing. The writing style is simple enough for the book to be a quick read, but that wasn’t the case for me, because I was not enjoying my time reading it.
The characters did not feel like real people, or let’s say, people you would like to read and know about. Bunch of nobles that don’t want to do their jobs. The only pov I could find enjoyable was that of Zara, but only at first, then it also went downhill real fast. She got over the death of her family real quick and would then only bring them up during conversation. All of them kept making dumb decisions and set goals that they did not achieve (at least themselves), and I couldn’t root for any of them, especially Veshak (let me not question his anatomy in the steamy scene), even though the most boring of all was Dorian. God forbid a woman that is not Zara steps on the ship. Let’s not forget the cartoonish villain that only appears a couple of times, including the final battle. What was her motivation to want the throne and need to get rid of Zara, to do anything really? I’m not sure.
The romance was… It was there, I guess? If you can’t get into the characters, you can’t really care what they feel (in general too) for each other either. Let’s not even talk about the ending.
The book was not polished at all, at least that’s how it felt to me. Not fun nor entertaining, not a story you would like to read about.

[Katie Steele · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhhh, this was a fun read.

I love a good fantasy novel, and I *especially* love a good fantasy novel where massive amounts of worldbuilding feel effortless to read. That's exactly what I got with A Tide of Treason.

The world. THE WORLD. It felt so real, so tangible, but the story never felt bogged down by the details! I think that was, in part, thanks to some really beautiful prose. The author struck an excellent balance, laying out the world, all of the set up for the story, and adding in just the right amount of flowery prose to make it feel like a steady, lyrical rhythm while reading.

The characters are *to die for.* Truly, I latched onto all three of the POV characters within the first hundred pages. They're delightful, they're messy, they're queer af, and they made me want to read and read and read just so I could learn more about them.

A Tide of Treason has been a pretty easy sell at the bookstore. It strikes such a good balance of high stakes, compelling stories and motivations, political intrigue, and romance, that it can scratch the itch for a lot of readers, especially with so many people looking for more diversity in fantasy right now. I think it's perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's Mistoborn series, Susan Dennard's Witchlands, or even fans of the Dragon Age games!

And while I did receive a free copy of the book for review, I liked it so much I ended up buying myself a copy, and this is a completely voluntary review <3

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this eARC.

I really wanted to enjoy this book but unfortunately it fell a bit short for me. The cover is beautiful and it’s what drew me in. The world itself, heavily inspired by Indian mythology, was the best feature of the book. It was rich, vibrant, and I liked the dark fairytale vibes. The story was a little too fast-paced for my liking and the writing felt a bit choppy; almost like we were flitting from place to place nearly instantaneously.

Instead of starting the book on our first main character, the prologue opted to introduce us to the book’s intriguing magic system through an unconventional POV. Honestly it was very confusing and jarring at first, but quite interesting once you understand what’s going on. I figured from the prologue that the magic system would play a huge part in the story but I felt that it wasn’t really explored or explained as much as it could’ve been. It only really plays a part in the climax where it played a convenient role in easily eliminating the main villain.

I thought the characters were just alright. Without giving too much away, I liked Veshak and Zara but I don’t think their character arcs ended satisfyingly. Dorian had a better “ending” but he had almost little to no character growth and he was pretty much stuck on the boat for the majority of the book doing nothing.

Overall great concept and world but just not the best execution.

[Emma Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Tide of Treason is a captivating blend of adventure, romance, and political intrigue that sweeps readers into a vibrant underwater world and the high seas. Prince Dorian’s internal struggle between duty and the allure of freedom sets the stage for a thrilling escape that leads him to unexpected challenges.

Meanwhile, Zara's transformation from mermaid to human in her quest to save her underwater kingdom is both empowering and poignant. Her burgeoning romance with the enigmatic privateer Veshak adds depth to the narrative, as they navigate their own desires while grappling with the weight of their respective missions.

The tension escalates with the arrival of a cunning shapeshifter, bringing secrets and betrayals to light. Daniels-Annachi masterfully weaves the trio's fates into a compelling tale of alliance and self-discovery. Richly developed characters and a lush, imaginative setting make this a must-read for fans of fantasy. Dive into this enthralling story and prepare for an unforgettable journey!.

DNF @ 18%. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

This is classified as an adult fantasy, but the writing is painfully sludgy, with barely distinctive voices between the three main POVs. I simply do not care enough about three royals (from different kingdoms) to continue reading. Certain sections felt like they had missed a line or two (Zara's first chapter appeared to be time skipping - at first she was out at midday, then suddenly it was late afternoon and the sun was supposed to have set before she got home, but she had a meeting and then the sun was still out? But a few paragraphs later, apparently she and her sister had travelled all night without sleeping and it was midday again?).

Also why would you have contortionists performing during an important meeting? Then randomly slapping one of your advisors for apparently "interrupting" too many times. Eudo was cartoonishly evil from the start.

Really interesting concept, but the heavy-handed writing; bland, indistinguishable characters; and a poorly explained magic system plus a crucial misunderstanding of nautical battle means this is a nope from me.

[Lily · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a hauntingly beautiful story, with mythology, fantasy, and a little romance intertwined. We get to follow the story from three POVs – Dorian, Zara, and Veshak. Each adds unique insight into their world, even after their paths become inextricably laced together. Daniels-Annachi has a beautiful writing voice, and really transports you right into the story, like slipping unseen through a magic portal. The characters are complex, and not everyone is exactly as you expect them to be, in a good way. The story itself moves at a good pace, and it’s really difficult to set down once you start reading. You can tell there are fairy-tale/myth elements running through everything, but the story is unique. If you’re looking for a unique. magical, fairy-tale-esque adventure, you absolutely need to grab this.

An exciting retelling of the little mermaid, with mythical creatures, political intrigue, magic, and beautifully written characters who will steal your heart.

This book has 3 POVs and each character has a their own role and stakes in the story.
Veshak, the dashing pirate captain was my favorite and had some amazing moments in the story and I want nothing but happiness for him. 💜

Zara, the devoted daughter and sister is the mermaid of this tale and she goes THROUGH it, but her determination to stop the rot killing her people makes her fierce and compassionate.

Dorian, the son of a tyrant king being forced to take a wife and a crown he does not want. His story had some beautifully written heartache and I liked reading such an ace character.

If you like mermaids, pirates, political intrigue, mythic creatures, magic, and wonderfully queer characters then you sould absolutely read this book.

A. B. Daniels-Annachi amazes in this utterly unique take on The Little Mermaid.

A Prince, a pirate, a mermaid.

We are gifted three POVs through the eyes of our captivating main characters, whose complex backgrounds and motives weave together to form a page-turning quest for adventure and revenge.

Annachi shines through prose that cements you into the vivid setting, whether in a castle, sailing the seas, or swimming within them. Not to mention the world-building, which is lush with fascinating magic and steeped in Indian mythology and culture.

The setting, paired with the astounding world and intriguing plot, leads to a book that will take you on a high-seas adventure unlike any you've ever read.

I found the mythology and worldbuilding in this book to be fascinating, and I loved the parts about the environmental impacts of the colonialism. However, I just could not sympathize with the main characters, which threw me off. I cannot sympathize with a captain who throws all the women on his ship overboard, regardless of the reason. And I understand Dorian and Zara struggling with their royal positions, but they read more like grumpy teenagers than adults. I really wanted to like this book and there are certainly things to like about it, but the characters dragged the book down. I know morally grey characters are common, and they can be written well, but the narrative didn't seem to be aware at all about Veshak being morally grey.

A Tide of Treason is an enchanting sear faring journey steeped in rich culture.

From the first page I was reeled into the mysteries unfolding in the rich world that was created. It's fun, heartfelt and full of adventure, found family, and even a dash of yearning.

I enjoyed the fast pace setting sailing across the open seas, dealing with pirates and sea creatures. The found family and romance aspects felt very cozy despite the events of the book. If you're looking for a queer normative romance that checks all the boxes for delicious enemies to lovers tension, look no further.

I am eagerly awaiting the next installments, and more time with the dashing pirate captain himself, Veshak.

A Tide of Treason by A.B. Daniels-Annachi is a spin on The Little Mermaid and she really made this tale her own. The story is written beautifully and I loved how Indian mythology was woven into it.
The writing is flowing and the characters come across very well. The different POVs made that I was more engrossed in the story and this way you got more perspectives. I always believe more POVs make that a book is more interesting.

I loved reading A Tide of Treason and can recommend reading this lovely book to anyone who loves a good retelling.

I am trying to get back into my fantasy roots and this story definitely did the trick. The mythology and world building was well-thought-out and explored. A majority of this played like a well-thought-out movie in my head. I loved the different nods to both Indian mythology and The Little Mermaid.

Ari is able to weave the story between three POVs almost effortlessly. My only complaint is that I feel like there was just too much that left me wanting more. There was a lot of Dorian, Zara, and Veshak's backgrounds and futures I wanted to be a part of. I felt like it was packed with so much story that it could have easily become a series, one that I would have been very eager to read.

A.B. Daniels-Annachi creates a culturally rich and inclusive fantasy world that leaves your emotions rising and falling as “A Tide of Treason” would suggest. Underlying a unique take on a classic fairytale, this book has an incredible take on the effects of colonialism in the environment and its people.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly! The characters were fully realized which I find can be difficult for multi-person povs and I enjoyed their dynamics. The trans experience and the different ways magic and non-magic characters deal with transness was cool to see.

It was nice to see the author’s culture interwoven in through the book, and with so much care. And it was really nice to see a fantasy book from a SWANA author.
