Sea Witch Rising is the second book in the Sea Witch duology by author Sarah Henning. It is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid.  The novel follows Alia, a mermaid who asked the Evie, the Sea Witch, to help her become human in order to be with the boy she loves, Prince Nikolas. The Sea Witch agrees to the mermaids’ request but with concessions: Alia’s time on land is limited to three days, in which she must make the prince fall in love with her or she will perish, and she must do it without her voice.
