"The people of this land know that mermaids are real," the professor said. "They're born with the knowledge--it's in their blood. If you ask them, of course they'll say 'No, you bellend. Are you on crack?' They lie. But they don't lie because you're an outsider, or because they don't trust you. It is simply impossible to say--
An unutterable truth."
When sixteen-year-old, recently orphaned Link Preston comes to live with his estranged best friend Echo in Cornwall, England, he finds himself in the middle of an ancient mystery that holds the small coastal village in fear. It has a lot to do with science, and also with the ocean, and with growing up, and possibly the mysterious, alluring Adeline who wanders the moors and sea cliffs. Possibly.
