Since twelve-year-old Alea fell overboard from the Crucis during a storm, the mermaid finally knows who she is and where she belongs. But what happened to her mother eleven years ago? Why does the underwater world seem so desolate? And why does she feel such a strong connection to thirteen-year-old Lennox, as if they have always known each other? A magical message from the belly of a whale leads Alea and the Alpha Cru to incredible answers that raise new questions. Includes the Alea Aquarius song, composed and sung by the author.
