Description from back of book: "We searched for a love that could never satisfy..." The bond between a Master, his ship, and the Mera who protects them is strong. While on his quest to find the lost crown, Jariel Easton's Mera dies suddenly, leaving him defenseless on the open seas. When he discovers a surprisingly young-and beautiful-Mera tangled in his fishing nets, he eagerly accepts her help without question. But the formidable BlackHeart wants her dead. "Love is sacrifice." The power of her people has always been a thing of fear and awe among the kingdoms. Deep in her heart, Mera knows the cost of that power. Falling in love with the man she is sworn to protect may cost her everything. Her search is for redemption, and his is for the wealth and glory long denied him. Will her sacrifice be enough to save them both from the dangers ahead? ***This book is recommended for Teens and Adults.
