Hannah wants to be normal, but she's not.
The sea calls to her, and she can see a delicate tracing of scales on
her legs. Billowing waves soothe her, but flat land makes her sick. She
knows there's something wild in her that's different, wrong--and deeply
thrilling.
Only one person seems to know who--or what--Hannah is. He's a guest in
the house where she works as a scullery girl, and his fascinated gaze
follows her. She doesn't understand his terrifying allure, or her
longing. But even as the mystery deepens, Hannah is sure of one thing.
A sea change is coming.
