About the Book

Sapphire lives in two worlds. On land she walks the rocky shores of the Cornwall coast — but under the sea she can swim like a seal by the side of her Mer friend Faro.

Because of her mixed blood, Sapphire can enter the Deep. With a great whale as her guide, she will journey to a place so far from the sun, no light can find it — and confront an evil that's even darker.
