On a mission to find other nephilim (lost children of air) before they become victims of the demonic children of fire, fallen angel and fledgling Seeker Lara Rho is drawn to itinerant seaman Justin Miller only to find he's not one of her kind after all—but he's not entirely human, either. Torn between loyalty and obedience to her group's controlling leader and the bone-deep knowledge that Justin desperately needs her help, Lara defies the Headmaster and flees with Justin on a treacherous journey to Maine—and the sea—in search of his people and his newly remembered selkie heritage.
VERDICT Strong, appealing protagonists realize their linked powers as they fight for their lives and their futures against a cadre of vengeful, relentless villains, demonic and otherwise, in this beautifully written, exquisitely sensual, and action-packed story that delivers a tender, rewarding romance and beautifully meshes with the series. Kantra (Immortal Sea) lives in North Carolina.
