Tempest must choose between her human and mermaid lineages. The decision is complicated by her mermaid mother's long absence, a prophecy that Tempest will battle the sea witch Tiamat--and Tempest's attraction to hot selkie Kai. Elements of the novel's mythos (e.g., mermaids' phosphorescent glow and instantly appearing tattoos) aren't fully fleshed out, but they don't detract from the romance or high-stakes adventure.
