World Fantasy Award winner Patricia A. McKillip tells an enchanting fantasy that is tinged with realism and romance.
(School Library Journal)Since the day her father’s fishing boat returned without him, Peri and her mother have mourned his loss. Her mother sinks into a deep depression and spends her days gazing out at the sea. Unable to control her anger and sadness any longer, Peri uses the small magic she knows to hex the sea. And suddenly into her drab life come the King’s sons—changelings with strange ties to the underwater kingdom—a young magician, and, finally, love.
McKillip is a master storyteller; her tale rings true as if it were being told from memory.

Patricia McKillip has a tendency to write dangerous magic books; while there are wondrous things, there is always a dark edge to them, a feeling that not everything will turn out okay, that there is a side of pain to all the wonder. This is not to say that there are no happily ever afters in her books, just that there is always suspense when they come, and always an undercurrent of sadness as well.
