The Pod Father Aaron Galvin

A mermaid princess in the underwater Salt world, Sydney Gao never thought to meet the Orcinian brute and Violovar leader, Malik Blackfin. A rumored traitor of his people, enemy of the crown, and banished for his dishonorable acts in an earlier war, the Blackfin's name is one that Sydney has long heard whispered and feared among Selkie slaves and Salt Children. Still, with the Blackfin's banishing for dishonorable acts in an earlier war, Sydney had no reason to believe their paths would ever cross in the capital city of New Pearlaya where her father rules. Then again, Sydney has never experienced the same losses and pain her companions have since being brought to the realm beneath the waves. She's never had to face the true monsters of the Salt . . . Until now.
