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.

This was a really beautiful little story, McKillip's great writing giving it a sense of dreaming, making one feel and hear and smell the sea as the story progressed. It's a short novel, and some things could have been more explained, more developed, but that was not the goal of the story and it told what needed to be told in the way it should be told -- almost like poetry in motion.

Offering as a RABCK to my favourite relayer SandDanz. Hope you enjoy it. It's a small book so I'm sure you can fit it in-between other reads from your colossal TBR mountain. :)

Looks like a short, quick read... hopefully I can squeeze it in sooner rather than later! Thanks Xeyra! :)
