When Vanessa's quiet beach-town life gets violently upended by otherworldly creatures, her mysteriously absent best friend Audrey reveals she's been hiding a whole magical realm—and powerful secrets—all along. Now Vanessa is trudging through the mystical land of Hyvenmere with nothing but determination and loyalty, desperate to protect Audrey while navigating fae, nereids, and a dangerously beautiful seven-foot siren who seems intent on making her his personal obsession. As Vanessa discovers that ordinary courage might be her greatest strength yet, she's forced to question whether she can trust the very creatures—especially one infuriating, deadly siren—who might be her only hope of keeping Audrey safe. This is a heart-pounding adventure about found family, the magic of unwavering loyalty, and discovering that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is let someone in.
