Publisher's Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Talia was born to a life of certainty and luxury, destined to become Empress of half the world. But when an ambitious rival seizes power, she and her mother are banished to a nowhere province on the far edge of the Northern Sea. On their terrifying journey, the sea seems to call to Talia in strange ways, and her mother - spiralling into madness - becomes obsessed with ancient myths that talk of the sea goddess Rahn who rules the watery Hall of the Dead.
