For adults she has written a trilogy of best-selling books that includes The Tea Rose, The Winter Rose, and The Wild Rose. Jennifer Donnelly is an award-winning author of both adult and young adult books, including Deep Blue, Rogue Wave, and Dark Tide, the first three books in the Waterfire Saga. Political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and spine-tingling suspense swirl like a maelstrom in this penultimate book in the WaterFire saga. If Lucia’s parents become suspicious, his life–and all of Sera’s hopes–will be extinguished. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina’s betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. Ava can’t return home, because death riders await her arrival.

Becca meets up with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is hiding a shameful secret. Ling is in the hold of Rafe Mfeme’s giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own.

Once a lost and confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin Resistance (BFR). Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world’s very existence. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera’s mother.

And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi.
