The third installment of the epic Return to Now series plunges us to the unexpected depths of the sea, to the troubled city of Anjhelius, weaving a tale of heroism, sacrifice, and the power of story. The waters of the deep are not calm. The manta clan trembles on the verge of violent rebellion. And Nuala, leader of the rebels, has plans for the Prince. Seeking only a way to the mainland of the Now, Jack and Tija'l become embroiled in her treasonous plot, one that promises to save her people from oppression and tear her family apart. "Who says you're supposed to be the hero, Jack?" Nuala asked, surprised. "You are a part of this story, certainly. But a victory will require many heroes."
