This sequel to THE SEA WITCH is an alternative reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. It's a heart-wrenching story about the complications of sisterhood; the uncompromising nature of magic and the cost of redemption. Alia has made a deal with the Sea Witch to give up her life as a mermaid in exchange for a human soul. Now she has only twelve hours left on land to win the prince she loves; or perish. But Alia's sister; Runa; knows that the prince isn't capable of true love; so she makes her own bargain with the Sea Witch - and prepares to bring Alia back to the ocean; whether she likes it or not. Below the waves; the Sea Witch has a plan to challenge the order of the sea. It's going to take power - power she doesn't yet have. As Runa and the Sea Witch's fates intertwine; they find themselves caught in the middle of a deadly conflict between land and water. Will they be brave enough to sacrifice their own hearts' desires for a chance to save their worlds...?
