Born in the sterile, high-tech bunkers of the RDA, Elisabeth "Elise" Quaritch was raised to be a perfect soldier-a weapon forged from the genetic memory of Earth's most ruthless colonel. But when the fires of war consume the Olangi forests and force the Sully family to flee to the eastern oceans, Elise deserts the only life she has ever known. She doesn't want her father's war; she just wants to survive. Seeking refuge among the ocean-dwelling Metkayina clan, Elise finds herself stranded in a world that completely rejects her. To the reef people, her wide hands and tail-less body are a mockery of the sea. To Neytiri, her very presence is a toxic reminder of the ghost trying to hunt them down. While her childhood friend Spider anchors her to her human roots and the rebellious Lo'ak becomes her partner in defiance, Elise faces her harshest critic in Neteyam-the golden son, the perfect warrior, and the dedicated protector of the Sully clan. Assigned to watch her every move, Neteyam treats Elise with a cold, military suspicion, waiting for the Colonel's blood to show its true, violent colors. But the ocean connects all things. As the tides rise and the RDA gunships close in on the reef, Elise and Neteyam are forced to survive the open seas together. Beneath the bioluminescent canopy of the sanctuary waters, the perfect soldier and the enemy's daughter must choose between the destructive legacies of their fathers, or forge a dangerous new path in the deep.
