SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't read
the first two books in the trilogy, Lies Beneath and Deep Betrayal,
Stop! I don't want to ruin Calder and Lily's story for you.
Lily continues to struggle with her
newfound family identity, being part mermaid. Her father took to the water
naturally, but the change is still physically difficult for her. Calder loves
being accepted as a part of the Hancock family but with Jason Hancock teaching
college and his family, he and Lily have decided to stay north with them rather
than head to the warm waters of the Bahamas for the winter months. With the
entire Hancock family coping with their new family dynamics, Calder beings to
wonder what the spring migration will bring to his family, both new and old
when Maris and Pavati come back to Lake Michigan.
Lily wears the sea glass pendant
that once belonged to her grandmother. She has dreams in which she is reliving
important moments in Nadia's life. Calder believes it is just stress but Lily
insists that they are real and it drives them apart. When Maris and Pavati
arrive back at the lake, Lily and Calder worst fears are realized. Daniel was
able to father a child with Pavati, a boy. Initially, he is not willing to
accept the possibility of raising a child for a year and then giving him back
to Pavati, but Daniel becomes instantly smitten with his son. Pavati is
heartbroken to have to leave him behind. Lily and Calder fear that history may
repeat itself when Jason Hancock wasn't returned to his mother, Nadia, by his
father. Before diving back into the lake, Pavati whispers to Lily if she got
her letter. She acknowledges that she did but fears that Calder has overheard
their conversation.
Why is Lily seeing Nadia's past
through her dreams? Is Lily's sister, Sophie, also able to transform into a
mermaid? Will Daniel be able to return their son to Pavati? And if not, what
would it mean for everyone? What was in Pavati's letter to Lily? Will Lily ever
be able to change her form without the physical pain? Can all of the menfolk coexist
peacefully? Do Calder and Lily have their happily ever after?
