When he finally came to his senses, he abandoned her to return to his refuge in the sea. Twenty years later, he comes face to face with his daughter. Triton is both thrilled and frightened to learn he''s a father. Meeting the child he never knew fills a void in his life. But at the same time, he once again finds his heart at risk. Even more terrifying, he''s forced to admit he''s still in love with Nicole. Gathering his courage, he leaves the sea to seek her out. But the pain he caused is not easily forgotten. And mending broken hearts should be the least of his worries. The elements are in commotion, threatening the utter destruction of mankind.

Descending
When Xanthus cashes in a long-standing favor, Kyros is faced with doing two things he thought he''d never do—protect a mermaid and live on land. Dagonians loathe mermaids and Sara, Xanthus''s wife, is no exception. Also, a Dagonian standing on human legs? As if being around the vile creatures responsible for polluting his home and killing his sister wasn''t horrible enough, Kyros has to deal with Sara''s troublesome human friend, Gretchen. Kyros can''t help but resent Gretchen. Not only is she human and unforgettably gorgeous, but she leaves him swimming in confusion and feeling things he shouldn''t be feeling—least of all for a land-walker! When Gretchen is nearly killed by an assassin''s bullet, Kyros''s mission changes. He''s forced to become her protector. Forced is a gross exaggeration, though. The more time Kyros spends with Gretchen, the more he finds himself falling for this spunky, witty human. When it becomes apparent that something dark and evil will stop at nothing to see Gretchen dead, Kyros expends his resources to find out who that being is. Unfortunately, the answer causes more problems than it solves. When a rogue mermaid wants you dead, you’re safe from no one… not even the ones you love.

Would we become our own heroes, or would we become villains?
