Sea Witch reimagines the origins of one of the ocean’s most feared villains. Inspired by The Little Mermaid, it follows Evie, a witch surviving in a world where magic is outlawed. When her path crosses with Annemette, a mermaid with her own secret, both are propelled towards a reckoning that will reshape their futures. It is a story of identity, sacrifice and transformation, inspired by the novel Sea Witch by Sarah Henning and adapted with permission of HarperCollins Publishers.
