Excerpt of Fish out of Water
"But there is hope, for there is always hope for the truly innocent."
I look up, surprised.
A sick smile plays on Cerce's face. "There is a way to break the curse and return to your true forms; to re-assume your heritage. You must win the heart of the first mortal man, high or low, who beholds you in your exile, and he must win your heart also. Only then shall you be free to tear your hearts apart and return as princesses of Atlantis."
Elspeth gasps in horror beside me, but that is nothing like the revulsion on Calypso's face. And neither have any share of the sickness in my heart as I look across at Lena. Six year-old Lena.
