The Undine's Tear

Mermaids. Magic. And a mistake that could destroy the world... or cost her everything to save it.
Calandra would do anything for her people. The powerful princess has been raised to enslave a human man with the siren mind-bond and restore the Heartstone that protects their island, then be exiled before she goes Mad and unleashes unfathomable destruction like the healer who sank Atlantis... and her mother. But her queen aunt wants her to bond her childhood friend-the one man she'd risk a death sentence to free. And her jealous cousin and the sinister golden-eyed creature in her dreams both have more nefarious ideas.
Then Calandra learns her exiled mother was not only sane, but pregnant with the first undine boy in three millennia. She's certain her brother is the solution to her problems, until she uncovers the horrifying truth about the undines' past. If she finds him, she could start a revolution-and if she can't, she'll unleash an ancient evil that will tear the world apart.
Unless she sacrifices everything, even the man she loves. And she's running out of time. But while she's redeeming the world, who will save her?
The Undine's Tear is the first book in the mind-blowing young adult epic historical fantasy series Rise of the Grigori. Packed with complex characters, lush world-building, gritty action, and impossible odds, this intricately woven tale presents mermaids like you've never seen them before. Join Calandra in a search for redemption that will threaten the very fabric of the universe.
