The sea calls to Sapphy with growing urgency. Its voice rises and falls like tides, promising what she desires most: reunion with her boyfriend Faro, a young water mage, and her missing father. The ocean's pull becomes harder to resist each day. A massive octopus now menaces both water and land. Only someone who is half human, half mermaid can defeat this creature. Sapphy must return to the sea's depths and confront the monster. Faro insists on joining her dangerous mission, but the extreme depths may prove fatal to those who don't belong there. As Sapphy prepares for battle, she faces an agonizing choice between the safety of someone she loves and the survival of two worlds.
