She settles for observing them from afar but when her father makes an arrangement that she can't bear to obey she finds herself, for the first time, desperate to leave her world and join the one she has longed to be a part of. In despair and wishing to escape she crosses paths with a witch who promises Evangeline a life above water but at a price she won't know until the time comes.
With her hearts desire at arms length she is torn between being a dutiful daughter and going after the one thing she has only ever dreamed of, something she thought was impossible...until now.
