The Undine's Tear
Mermaids. Magic. And the mistake that could destroy the world... or cost her everything to save it.
Princess Calandra would do anything to save her people. The powerful healer has been raised to restore the Heartstone that protects their island from humans—before she goes Mad and unleashes unfathomable destruction like the woman who sank Atlantis… and her exiled mother. But tradition demands she first enslave a human male with the siren mind-bond, and her queen aunt has selected the one man she’d risk a death sentence to free.
When Calandra learns her mother actually fled to protect the first undine boy in three millennia, she's certain her missing brother is the solution to her problems. Then she uncovers the horrifying connection between the bonds, the Madness, and her people's past and realizes if she finds him, she could start a revolution—but if she can’t, she’ll unleash an ancient evil that could tear the world apart.
Unless she surrenders everything… even the man she loves.
And she’s running out of time.
