As knowledge of the mermaids' existence and their murderous past becomes widely known, general Luce (Lost Voices; Waking Storms) and her Twice Lost Army, mermaids exiled from their tribes, stand up to change their fearsome reputation to gain human support and understanding. Porter's heroine, once so wounded, is awarded satisfying strength and awakening in this dark yet hopeful conclusion to the trilogy.
