Mermaids. Magic. And the mistake that could destroy the world... or cost her everything to save it. Calandra would do anything to save her people. The powerful princess has been raised to restore the Heartstone that protects their island from humans, then be exiled to the Abyss before she goes Mad and unleashes unfathomable destruction like the healer who sank Atlantis… and her mother. But tradition demands she first enslave a human man with the siren mind-bond, and her queen aunt has selected her childhood friend—the one man she’d risk a death sentence to free. When Calandra learns her mother wasn't exiled but fled to protect the first undine boy in three millennia, she's certain her brother is the solution to her problems. Until she uncovers the horrifying truth about the undines’ past and realizes if she finds him, she could start a revolution—but if she can’t, she’ll unleash an ancient evil that will tear the world apart. And if her jealous cousin and the sinister golden-eyed creature haunting her dreams have their way, she'll never get the chance to fulfill her destiny. Unless she surrenders everything… even the man she loves. And she’s running out of time. The Undine's Tear is the first book in the mind-blowing young adult epic historical fantasy series Rise of the Grigori. Packed with complex characters, lush world-building, gritty action, and impossible odds, this intricately woven tale presents mermaids like you’ve never seen them before. Join Calandra in a search for redemption that will threaten the very fabric of the universe. Buy The Undine's Tear and dive into the adventure today! “Wow. Just WOW!!” - Candace Marshall, advanced reader “I couldn’t put this book down!” - Jessica Renwick, author of The Book of Chaos “You want to read this book. It’s fantastic!” - Ellen Michelle, editor and owner of Constellate Publishing “Stunning writing, vivid descriptions, and endearing characters. Puts the epic in fantasy.” - Liz Konkel, Readers' Favorite “A colossal fantasy tale told by an expert storyteller. Spectacular.” - Ruffina Oserio, Readers' Favorite “The action never stopped… a brilliant start to a new series, superbly composed to entertain!” - Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite “Don’t miss this journey into a secret world of magic, family, love and loss.” - Suzy Vadori, Award Winning Author, The Fountain Series “My favorite book of the past year!” - Kathy Brown, reader Excerpt: “You are wondering how to gain control of your powers." Calandra thought about ignoring Damon or denying it, but what was the point? This was nothing more than a dream, and the slippery logic of dreams fuzzed her will to keep her more rebellious thoughts to herself. “You know, I shouldn’t even be talking to you. An Unredeemed male. I could get in big trouble.” The corners of his mouth curved under his trim goatee. “And who will report you?” He indicated the black water around them. “Certainly not I. I exist only in your mind.” She crossed her arms and cocked her head, studying him. “Have you ever been Redeemed?” His expression became stony. “Redemption is for humans.” “Redemption is for men. To make them safe. It just happens that the only men are human.” Thinking of Osaze’s dread, she wondered again at the morality of it. Uncrossing her arms, she shifted her gaze from Damon’s face to his bronze chest. “And one of them is my friend.” “All humans should be controlled,” he replied nonchalantly, drawing nearer. “They have not the patience nor discipline to control themselves. And I am not human, yet I am male.” She looked up at him, eyes narrowed. “I can see that. What are you? I’ve never seen an undine with golden eyes.” He smiled knowingly. “Not human. But I could be your friend.” That same feeling of security and warmth from their first encounter enveloped her, as though he were projecting it from himself intentionally. She frowned, wanting to accept it and shake off her heavy heart, but not daring to trust him yet. “What do you want from me?” “I want to help you.” Damon came near enough to touch her but didn’t, pausing before her with his arms to the sides in a placating gesture. She wrapped her arms around herself and glared into the blackness beyond him. “Yeah, well, you can’t. Not unless you can tell me how to control powers that could sink an island and heal the Heartstone without going Mad.” “Little lark,” he said, amusement dripping from his voice like honey from a spoon, “that is exactly what I intend to do.” About the Author: Talena Winters is addicted to stories, tea, chocolate, yarn, and silver linings. She writes page-turning fiction for teens and adults in multiple genres, coaches other writers, has written several award-winning songs, and designs knitting patterns under her label My Secret Wish. Master of the ironic GIF response. She currently resides on an acreage in the Peace Country of northern Alberta, Canada, with her husband, three surviving boys, two dogs, and an assortment of farm cats. She would love to be a mermaid when she grows up.
