The ocean calls to Sapphy with growing intensity along the Cornish coast. Its voice rises and falls like eternal tides, promising what she desires most: reunion with Faro, the young water magician, and her missing father who vanished a year ago. When Sapphy encounters the merman Faro, he draws her into the sea's depths. She feels the same pull that once lured her father into the realm of mermaids and water magic. Mermaid blood flows through her veins. She belongs to both worlds, human and sea folk alike. Divers threaten to destroy the sacred territories of the mer people. Sapphy must choose which world claims her loyalty. The water whispers its ancient secrets, urging her to abandon the land forever and follow its call to the depths where her father waits.
