Chey has lost everyone she
cares about. Her mother. Her father. Her best friend. Her ancestors moved into
their ocean refuge to protect themselves; instead, the waters have slowly taken
her people, one-by-one.
When Chey feels the blues encroaching,
she will do anything to save herself. Her attempts to survive lead to a
forbidden encounter with a kind outsider, Jesse. The only problem? His existence
shouldn’t be possible.
