The Blue Divide
When Eko is kidnapped from his home in the deep Atlantic by members of an ancient cult, his only hope of returning to his life as a merman is the Heart of Poseidon, the source of his people's power, and the object the cultists want most.

But the closer he gets to his goal, the more he finds himself drawn to his human savior, a kind human girl who helps him see the Upperworld and his new air-breathing body not as a prison, but as an opportunity for reinvention after the iron caste system of his old life. But even she is wrenched away when the cult leader discovers Eko's whereabouts and threatens everyone standing between him and the Heart of Poseidon.
