After their father is lost at sea, dreamer Sapphire and her pragmatic older brother, Conor, discover that, when invited by a Mer brother and sister, they can enter Ingo, an undersea realm. Effortlessly melding the lyrical patterns of myth with the details of a timeless yet modern Cornwall-coast childhood, Dunmore fashions a spellbinding tale, the first in a projected trilogy.
