The Undine’s Tear (Rise of the Grigori) Hardcover – January 1, 2021 by Talena Winters

Description

She was raised to save her people-as long as she doesn’t go crazy and kill them all first.

Three thousand years ago, a powerful undine healer sank Atlantis. Ever since, the Heartstone that hides the undines has been failing. Calandra is the most gifted healer to be born since the Sinking, and unless she can repair the Stone, her island will be exposed to the human world and all its dangers. But since all the powerful healers go Mad, will she save everyone or simply repeat history?

Across the sea in England, her brother Zale is trying to outrun the merman identity he despises. When a beautiful sphinx tells him he is the first male of his kind in three millennia, he finds himself on a quest to save his mother and the sister he’s never met from an Order as old as the Earth itself. But if he can’t control his fearsome elemental powers, he may destroy everything he’s trying to save.

Meanwhile, war brews among the races, threatening the very fabric of the universe, and Calandra and Zale could be the keys to stopping it. Can Calandra solve the riddle of her people’s tangled history in time to save everyone . . . including herself?
