Abisina had found a home in Watersmeet the community her father led until he was killed by the evil White Worm. But now, Watersmeet
is as divided as the home she fled as an outcast. The land faces a new
threat, and an uneasy alliance between the humans and the creatures
will have to be formed to survive. If Abisina doesn't become the leader
that Watersmeet needs, she may lose everything. But can she take her
father's place? This powerful and moving fantasy deals with timely issues
about identity, prejudice, and war. It is the sequel to Watersmeet, which
was an IRA Young Adult Award Notable Book and a YALSA Teens'
Top Ten nominee.
