Continuing the Guardian Trilogy, this story focuses on Annika the mermaid and Sawyer the time-hopper as they continue their battle with the evil mother of darkness Nerezza.

Bay of sighs indeed. While a bit edgy for Nora Roberts (see mermaid sex and a torture scene), I still just can't connect as much with her more fantastical tales. The characters spend 90% of the time talking through their plans, and only 10% on action and the romances seems so fated that there is never really any tension. I miss her contemporaries.
