After a horrible accident, Mara was given another chance at life; a life lurking in the depths of the ocean. She's caught in between good and evil. Her soul is still intact, but it's infused with darkness. Mara resides in the harsh waters of the Atlantic, near the coast of Maine, and busies herself with sinking the yachts of the rich and manipulative. After every sink, though, she's shrouded with guilt; guilt that is slowly diminishing everyday. When Zander Mitchell, in all his arrogant, cocky, miserable glory, sails Mara's waters, she'd oddly fascinated by the human. Little does she know that he could be the key to her demise or the key to unlock the good in her that was pushed deep down for far too long. Mara is dark and dangerous, but Zander is drawn to her beautiful, indescribable fury.

In Hajinn, singing isn't just forbidden: it's well known that it drives people mad. When Rajheem, a boy who loves music above all else, is plucked from his lowly existence to become the personal minstrel to Raja Helen, Third Seat of Hajinn, he is overwhelmingly grateful. As a foreigner, she holds none of the Hajinni superstitions toward music. What Rajheem initially considers a stroke of luck begins to seem like part of a frightening plan. There are Fair Folk in Helen's palace, creatures who walk the line between the world of the living and the world of the dead. They steal children away from their homes in the night, never to be seen again. As the people of Hajinn grow increasingly uneasy with their ruler’s inability to rid them of this infestation, a rumor begins that the Fair Folk were sent from the country to the east. At the same time, Rajheem realizes his singing talents go far beyond the power to create music. He can freeze people in their tracks, invoke fear in the hearts of his enemies, and even bend the fabric of reality itself. This gift embroils Rajheem in Helen's plot to usurp rule of Hajinn. As Rajheem struggles to control his newfound abilities and discover the reason his people abhor music, Helen orchestrates her plans to veer Hajinn toward war with a country it has been at peace with for hundreds of years.
