The Sphinx's Heart (Rise of the Grigori Book 2) - print book
Mistakes have consequences. This one could unleash hell on Earth.
As the most powerful undine healer since the woman who sank Atlantis, Calandra was supposed to be the saviour of her people. Instead, the malicious dragon spirit who haunted her dreams has been freed from the Abyss, the peaceful society of Sirenia has been plunged into revolutionary chaos, and her own brother, Zale, has inexplicably turned against her. Worse, though Calandra knows why she is going insane, she doesn't know how to stop it.
When Calandra follows Zale on a rescue mission through the very gates of hell, she learns the disturbing truth about their people's past. With the threat of Madness growing ever stronger, can Calandra and Zale find a way to overcome their differences and undo a mistake that has plagued the undines for millennia . . . before the entire world pays the price?

Continue the search for redemption with a cast of perfectly flawed characters on a hauntingly magical adventure that will leave you breathless. Mermaids, dragons, and angels like you’ve never seen them before.

“This is no game we’re playing here, boy.”
Rumiel continued, “The fate of the cosmos is at stake, and you’re right in the centre of it. But one thing none of us can do is change the past. So let’s not mope. We must do what we can to change what we can while we can, yes?”
Zale stared at him, the full weight of the cherub’s words sinking into his soul. Not so long ago, a statement like that would have overwhelmed him and sent him fleeing in whatever direction he could. He still felt the pull to run, to let someone else deal with the difficult things to come. But he knew there was no one else. Rumiel was right—for reasons Zale didn’t know, he’d been born with abilities he never asked for. And he knew enough to believe that his abilities would be the key to either maintaining or changing the balance of power in the universe, which was why he was in this mess in the first place.
The key. I am the key.
"All right,” he said, standing, “what do we do first?”
Rumiel smiled proudly. “There’s a good lad.”

Rise of the Grigori
Mermaids. Magic. And a search for redemption that could tear the world apart…
Three thousand years ago, a Mad undine healer sank Atlantis. Ever since, the Heartstone that protects the undines’ island has been failing and they haven’t produced a single boy. As the most powerful healer in three millennia, Calandra is the last hope of not only her people, but the entire world. Because if she can’t figure out how to undo her ancestor’s mistake, the Father of Lies will unleash hell on Earth.
Packed with complex characters, lush world-building, gritty action, and impossible odds, this intricately woven epic fantasy series presents mermaids and dragons like you’ve never seen them before.
Join Calandra in a search for redemption that will threaten the very fabric of the universe!
