She’s looking to prove herself and her abilities…and she finds love. This story isn’t the typical love story in that it starts off as an assassination story…which I think is so fun… it turns into a love story…Mera isn’t looking for love. There are warring families and the literal fate of land and sea in the balance. I loved writing this story because it has a real Romeo and Juliet stakes and feels. Can she kill someone who is innocent in the name of what she believes in? Or does she change what she believes and find another way? And once Mera realizes that Arthur is not responsible for the Atlanteans’ sins, she has to question her own. Mera is the one who teaches Arthur his true identity and reveals his past. Each of them affects each other in life altering ways. Arthur is more than a literary side piece here. But along the way, her mission becomes one to discover who she really is (the heir to the throne of Algid).įor Mera, love is the agent of change for her. In Stealing Snow, Snow sets off to save her childhood love, Bale. But her central conflict, and arguably her most important relationship, is between her and her antagonist Dorothy Gale. Amy crushes on Pete and falls in love with Nox in Dorothy Must Die. In my first book, I approached love as an ancillary part of my story.
