It's not easy being a half-blood.
The daughter of a water-breathing telchine mother and a human father, Aura divides her time between the magical depths of the sea and the island of Alimia she calls home. But when an earthquake frees a strange sponge-like creature from the seabed and topples the sun god's colossal statue on nearby Rhodes, ancient tensions between the sea dwelling telchines and land dwelling humans are re-awoken.
With the sun god Helios matched against the sea god Poseidon, only Aura can stop a war.
