Waterville, Maine is exactly where Alana Cassidy never expected to end up. Just across the river from Winslow, the town she grew up in, it is where she is now forced to call home. Placed in a horrible foster home, with equally horrible foster parents, the death of her mother and father five years ago was only the beginning of the nightmare her life has become. All she wanted was out of the life she hadnâ€™t wanted, and the opportunity just presented itself, sooner than the eighteenth birthday sheâ€™d been looking forward to. ,Jonas of Altonia: former guard of the Kingâ€™s court, banned from his home, injured and dying he waited out his fate, hidden under a forgotten dock deep in the woods behind the Pernickleâ€™s farm. He hadnâ€™t wanted to be saved, but sheâ€™d heard his song, planting a seed that took root the second she dragged him free of what would have been a fresh water grave. Heâ€™d expected her to be frightened by his kindâ€¦it was in all the stories. It was forbidden for Merman to show themselves to human kind, and yet, she hadnâ€™t tried to kill him. It hadnâ€™t been his intention to take her from her world, back into his, but she had nothing to lose, and he had everything to gain. Smitten by his essence, and desperate to get away from it all, Alana canâ€™t see past the oceanâ€™s call within his eyes. She needs a way out, and he just might be it. (from author's website)
