Or, worse - it might all be an illusion. If proof is just a magician's sleight of hand, then we're caught in a sick trick. A deadly one. One that doesn't end with applause, but with a bang.

Die Poseidon-Tribunale haben ihren tödlichen Höhepunkt erreicht, und nicht nur mein Leben steht auf dem Spiel. Wenn Atlas nicht aufgehalten wird, sind auch Poseidon, meine Schwester und ganz Aquarius dem Untergang geweiht. Doch die Offenbarungen, mit denen ich konfrontiert werde, sind schlimmer als alles, was uns der wahnsinnige Titan entgegenwerfen kann. Während ich lerne, den Umgang mit meiner Magie zu meistern und versuche, meine Schwester zu retten, erfahre ich den Rest der Prophezeiung des Orakels und was wirklich zwischen Poseidon und Atlas’ Frau vorgefallen ist.

Ich hatte Poseidons Palast aus einem einzigen Grund betreten - um ein legendäres Schiff zu stehlen, und damit zu den dunkelsten und gefährlichsten Tiefen des Ozeans zu segeln, um zu versuchen, meine Schwester zu retten. Und stattdessen musste ich jetzt um mein Leben kämpfen und tödliche Prüfungen bestehen, die für Wassergötter und Seemonster gedacht waren, und nicht eine machtlose und verwirrte Nymphe wie mich. Ich hatte mich darauf vorbereitet, dass ich Risiken eingehen musste. Ich hatte mich auch darauf vorbereitet, dass es gefährlich werden würde.

Ich bin nur eine gebrochene Meeresnymphe, deren Magie nie in Erscheinung trat. Die einzige Möglichkeit, Lily zu retten, befindet sich in seinem Unterwasserpalast, und ich habe nichts mehr zu verlieren.

Giselle… We had one magical night together... and then she was gone—a French beach fairy who danced away with the dawn. I searched until I found her again.
