One night, her uncle drunkenly tries to rape her before abandoning her next to a cliff. She falls off the cliff and into the ocean, but instead of dying, she finds herself transformed into a mermaid. She is taken in by a tribe of mermaids, all young girls who were abused during their previous lives as humans. The mermaids, especially their queen Catarina, want to take vengeance on humanity, and Luce learns that she's expected to use her enchanted voice to sink ships and kill everyone on board.The books in the series:Lost Voices (2011)Waking Storms (2012)The Twice Lost (2013)

The Ageless: Mermaids spend their whole lives at whatever age they were when they were transformed. Catarina is one of the oldest at about sixteen, but some are as young as five or six. Girls younger than that are referred to as larvae, and they aren't taken in by the tribe, but left in the ocean until they're eaten by orcas. Luce is horrified by the prospect of leaving infants to die, but Catarina explains that larvae are impossible to protect for very long, especially since they'll never grow old enough to care for themselves, and that they just attract predators.

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: The mermaids follow a code of honor called the timahk, the violation of which will get someone expelled from the tribe. The rules state that no mermaid can hurt another, no mermaid who hasn't broken the timahk can be banished from a tribe, any new mermaid will be welcomed into whatever tribe finds her, and any mermaid who sees another mermaid in trouble must do her best to help her, unless interfering is too dangerous (which is why the mermaids don't have to help the larvae). These rules do not extend towards humans - in fact, the timahk also forbids any sort of contact with humans, which means that any human who hears a mermaid must be immediately killed.
