Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she''s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm. Syrena law states all Half-Breeds should be put to death. As if that''s not bad enough, her mother''s reappearance in the Syrena world turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen''s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she''s never known? Once again, Anna Banks infuses Emma and Galen''s points of view with humor, intrigue, and waves of romance.

That is, until a deadly encounter with a shark proves that Emma and her Gift may be the only thing that can save his kingdom. He needs her help--no matter what the risk.

Et c’est là que je le sens. Un grondement arythmique sature l’eau autour de moi. Une pulsation. Il y a quelqu’un. Un individu que je ne reconnais pas. Lentement, je recule sur la pointe des pieds, en essayant de ne pas faire d’éclaboussures. Après quelques secondes, je me rends compte qu’essayer d’être silencieuse n’a pas de sens. Si je peux sentir la personne, l’inverse est aussi vrai. La pulsation devient plus forte. On vient dans ma direction. Et vite. Galen, le prince des Syrénas, est en mission.
