The City wants answers, and it wants them fast. A messenger is sent to the surface, ordering the Council to explain themselves and their misguided decisions, a demand that effectively means someone needs to return to the one place they swore never to go back to: The City itself.

​

Meanwhile, after a few delays and more than a few misgivings, the talks between the UN Committee and the Council are finally happening, diverting merfolk attention to what the future might bring.

​

Divided between The City and the UN talks, no one is prepared for Admiral Coleman's deceptive plan, one that seeks to break the weakest links amongst the Brooks family and those around them.

​​

From the depths of the ocean to the perils of high level diplomacy, the fourth book in the series explores what it means to choose between duty, honor, and family bonds.
