The Fae have no idea what's coming. Fate deals Mariel an unforgiving hand as she's selected to be the delegate for the Seafolk. With Ry still missing and seabeasts threatening to destroy the banished's way of life, Mariel must return to land with her brother Zale at her side; her brother that she'd finally brought back to the sea. Now Mariel must keep Zale safe from himself, find Ry, and make sure that Tristan forgives her for leaving him. Can she keep them all and maintain the peace between humanity and the Fae? "Addictively readable, with great characters and a killer hook." -Dan Wells on Burden of the Banished, The Exile's Promise
