The second in a series of tales about the clans of fearless Vikings and mystical Sirens who face each other in a neverending battle over their greatest source of life: the sea.
A young merman struggles to master his powers over magic-and to keep secret a forbidden relationship . A Viking is convinced that a mermaid murdered his eldest son seeks revenge against the world beneath the waves. Two races at war, their battles savage, bloody, and ultimately tragic-for their fates are intertwined far more than either side realizes.
