Publisher's Synopsis
He wanted the perfect wave. He didn't expect to trade his soul for it.
Sixteen-year-old Torey is obsessed with surfing, and with being the best. But no matter how hard he trains, the ocean never gives him the wave he dreams of. That is, until a mysterious older surfer named Donovan appears, a man who seems to bend the sea to his will.
Donovan offers Torey the impossible: the ability to create the perfect wave, any time, any place. The price? Torey must help track down someone hiding in plain sight-a girl who's not what she seems.
She's a mermaid.
Now living on land in human form, she is running from a past she refuses to explain. As Torey draws closer to her, torn between loyalty and obsession, he begins to uncover truths about Donovan, the ocean, and himself that could drown them all.
Dangerous deals. Ocean magic with a dark undertow.
