Jemma always lived in the sea. She loved it, but yearned to feel the air on her face, blowing her dark blue hair around. But the elders forbid it. They say the humans that live on land, are vile and evil. She has always felt different like she also belongs in the human world. What secrets are the elders hiding? And why?

But what happens when Jemma saves a human girl and takes her up on land?

Elizabeth Taylor loves living on Occulta Secretorum, an island off the coast of Maine. But something is missing. She has always loved the sea. How the waves crash into the land.
