The danger, the secrets, and the lies leave Olivia wondering if there's anyone above the waves or below she can trust.It's been over a year since San Diego. Now attending college at the University of Maryland, Olivia has new friends and a promising marine biology internship. But moving on from her past proves a lot harder than she expected. Burdened by loneliness, Olivia can't shake the feeling that there's something else for her. Something more.Then, during one of her regular visits to the aquarium, a mysterious woman approaches Olivia?a woman with gills and purple fingernails. Olivia answers the woman's plea for help without question-surely a simple rescue will show Eamon O'Dell she's ready to join him and the others on their tasks to aid merpeople.But what should have been a good deed has set off a series of deadly attacks that put Olivia in mortal danger and change everything she thought she knew about the merworld. Trusted friends have become little more than strangers. New enemies arise with lethal prejudices. And an old flame returns to protect Olivia, making her question her place in this strange world and threatening to crumble the walls she has reinforced around her heart.In this next installment of the Fathom Serioes, tensions between humans and merpeople are at an all-time high and someone is pulling the strings to further damage the tenuous peace that Eamon and his friends have worked hard to build. If Olivia can't find out who's behind it all-and convince the merworld council known as CHASM to maintain alliances with humans-her life, and the lives of everyone she loves, are forfeit.
