"Stay away from the water, the killing water that will shiver your bones and suck your breath." At first adolescent Seagren wants to obey, but she is caught between the tug of the sea and the pull of the land. She is That Other Kind, different. And illegal. Why? She doesn't know. Seagren rebells against those who would alter her, and she flees those who would imprison her. Other than the sea, the only safety she finds is with a young village lord who secretly knows why That Other Kind is different and what mission Seagren must fulfill for the good of all.
