Once a lost and confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin Resistance (BFR). While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own. Ling is in the hold of Rafe Mfeme''s giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. Becca meets up with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is hiding a shameful secret. Ava can''t return home, because death riders await her arrival. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina''s betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. If Lucia''s parents become suspicious, his life--and all of Sera''s hopes--will be extinguished. Political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and spine-tingling suspense swirl like a maelstrom in this penultimate book in the WaterFire saga.

Ces mages gouvernaient autrefois l''empire de l''Atlantide. Leur mission est à présent de retrouver les six talismans leur ayant appartenu. C''est le seul moyen de vaincre la malédiction qui a jadis détruit la cité antique... et qui menace de se répéter. Chacune à sa façon, les jeunes sirènes vont devoir faire preuve de courage et d''intelligence, allant jusqu''à affronter la mort. Sans se douter que la menace provient d''une terrible révélation, plus violente qu''une lame de fond...

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe. When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin''s arrow poisons Sera''s mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin''s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world''s very existence.

Serafina è tornata a Cerulea. La città è in rovina e gli abitanti, disperati, sono in balia dei loro spietati invasori. La giovane principessa si rifugia nella biblioteca dove spera di trovare qualche indizio sull''aspetto dei talismani e sui luoghi in cui potrebbero essere nascosti. Non sa che sta anche per scoprire la verità su Mahdi, il suo fidanzato del passato, e su Blu, il suo misterioso salvatore... Neela ha invece scoperto che uno dei talismani si trova nel nido dei più sanguinari dragoni che infestano gli abissi, ma il pericolo non le impedisce di tentare di recuperarlo. E Ling, presa prigioniera dei Terragogg, fa una scoperta sconvolgente... Il nemico dei mari rappresenta l''essenza stessa del Male. La realtà è molto, molto peggio del peggiore degli incubi...

Serafina, Neela, Ling, Ava, Becca, and Astrid, six mermaids from realms scattered throughout the seas and freshwaters, were summoned by the leader of the river witches to learn an incredible truth: the mermaids are direct descendants of the Six Who Ruled—powerful mages who once governed the lost empire of Atlantis. The ancient evil that destroyed Atlantis is stirring again, and only the mermaids can defeat it. To do so, they need to find magical talismans that belonged to the Six. Serafina believes her talisman was buried with an old shipwreck. While researching its location, she is almost discovered by a death rider patrol led by someone familiar. . . . The pain of seeing him turned traitor is devastating. Neela travels to Matali to warn her parents of the grave threat facing their world. But they find her story outlandish; a sign that she needs to be confined to her chamber for rest and recovery. She escapes and travels to Kandina, where her talisman is in the possession of fearsome razormouth dragons. As they hunt for their talismans, both Serafina and Neela find reserves of courage and cunning they didn''t know they possessed.
