Jennifer Donnelly is the author of thirteen novels - Poisoned, Stepsister, Lost in a Book, These Shallow Graves, Sea Spell, Dark Tide, Rogue Wave, Deep Blue, Revolution, A Northern Light, The Tea Rose, The Winter Rose and The Wild Rose - and Humble Pie, a picture book for children. Together they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world's very existence. Their search will lead them to other mermaid heriones scattered across the six seas.
Now she and Neela must embark on a quest to find the assassin's master and prevent a war between the mer nations. The realm falls into chaos, and Serafina's darkest premonitions are confirmed. The Dokimí proceeds, a dazzling display of majesty and might, until a shocking turn of events interrupts it: an assassin's arrow wounds Isabella. Most of all, she worries about not living up to her mother's hopes. But her nightmare is forgotten the next day as she diligently practices her songspell eagerly anticipates a reunion with her best friend, Neela and anxiously worries about Mahdi, the crown prince of Matali, and whether his feelings toward her and their future betrothal have changed.
On the eve of the Dokimí ceremony, which will determine if she is worthy of the crown, Sera is haunted by a strange dream that foretells the return of an ancient evil. Serafina, daughter of Isabella, Queen of Miromara, has been raised with the expectation - and burden - that she will someday become ruler of the oldest civilization of the merfolk.
