Coming back to Starling was never going to be easy. But Taryn never expected her world to be flipped upside down...
"The ocean is dangerous," is what Taryn's mother has been telling her since day one. After she lost her father among the waves before she was born, Taryn has led a protected life. Now she's back where it all started: Starling, California for a summer internship and to find out more about the father she never knew.
Fate takes a turn in the form of the ocean as the tide draws Taryn into a life she never knew that consists of a family secret, an ice eyed boy, and a power that lies hidden beneath the waves of Starling. When murders turn up throughout the city it seems that there is no one to trust ...at least...no one human.
