Sixteen-year-old Cassandra prepares to face her true nature as something other than human while avoiding relentless hunters bent on her capture. ---- Hunters hired by a pharmaceutical company invade eleven-year-old Cassie's home to kidnap her. The doctor who owns the company is desperate to synthesize drugs by exploiting the unique properties of her extraordinary DNA and body organs. She is worth millions of dollars to him. During the invasion, Cassie narrowly escapes while her mother is murdered. She flees to her Aunt Marnie who takes in the girl and successfully hides her for five years. Now sixteen and with the hunters closing in again, Cassie's emotions fray to the breaking point. Not only does she face hunters and the normal tribulations of a teen, but she becomes increasingly aware of her body evolving into something other than human. What is she? Why does the sea call to her in her dreams? Who is the mysterious young man who continues to rescue her from danger, and should she surrender to her growing feelings toward him? Journey with Cassie to Florida's Gulf Coast and into the exotic world of sponge diving, a mysterious lighthouse, ancient legends, and romance as she confronts her destiny.
