She gives me a sweet smile and pats the cushion next to her on the couch. “Have a seat. I’d love the company.”So much for the alone time, but she does appear genuinely happy for the company so I sit next to her. “I’m Mila.”“I know who you are. It’s a pleasure to meet you, young princess. I’m Erica, the eldest resident of Valora. I remember when your great-great-grandfather was a young prince.”I give her a double-take. “You remember when my great-great-grandpa’s father ruled?”She nods. “The idyllic days of my youth. All the girls in the kingdom were in love with your great-grandfather. He was a looker, that one.”I grin while mentally trying to figure out how old she must be.“That was a couple of centuries ago, but I remember his golden hair and indigo tail as if he were just here yesterday. I got to meet him on several occasions when my parents came here to the castle.”“Must have been something.”She nods, looking lost in thought. “Those were the days, I tell you. People weren’t

Chapter 42

I-stare at the trident, watching it glow in the cabinet.“Would you like me to come back tomorrow?” Dad asks.“Sorry.” I reach for the rod, and am immediately soothed by the warmth it sends through me. Even my stomach“That really is incredible,” Dad says. “I’ve connected with my weapon, but it doesn’t change colors like that.”“Does yours speak to you?”“Not in a conversational way.” He holds up his trident.“Consider yourself lucky,” I mumble.I heard that.“Good. We have a lot to talk about.”So I’ve gathered.“What do you mean?”People talk when in here.“Eavesdropper.”For your good. Did you know students and staff alike are genuinely worried about you?I snort. “Right.”They are. Even the one you call Earwig.“Now I know you’re pulling my leg.”Don’t use those land phrases with me.My dad clears his throat. “Why don’t you discuss this while we practice? Otherwise, there’s no point in me being here.”“Other than to allow me to be here. Can’t be here without a teacher, remember?”

Chapter 43

“There’s nothing I can do? Nothing?”Not unless you find someone to undo the spell your father cast connecting you to the queen.I skid to a stop. “Is that possible?”“Maybe? Is it or not?”How would I know? She came into all of this naturally. You didn’t.“Who would I talk to?”Ask the merman who did this to you.“Do you know anything that will help me?”The main thing I can do for you is to help you through the trials. If they’re based on Sirena’s, then all the better. I’ve been through those before.“What will happen to me if I refuse to do any of this?”The stomach pain will eventually kill you, I imagine.“You imagine?”I wouldn’t know, now would I? She followed her destiny.“Is that a jab?”No. Just pointing out the obvious.I leap away from my dad and press the trident on the ground. “I’m done.”“Your stomach?”“Never better.”“What did you find out?”It warms in my hand. “I don’t suppose you’re willing to undo this Mrs Walker spell you’ve cast on me?”“Undo it?” His eyes nearl

Chapter 44

You ready?” Isaac gives me his crooked smile that he could use to get me to do anything.I pull on my helmet. “Ready as I’m ever going to be.”We climb onto his bike and head into town. Mary helped us find a merwoman who is known for her knowledge of rarer spells—and what could be rarer than a spell to bring back the legendary powers of Mrs Walker.Isaac stops in front of a tiny, run-down house. A puff of smoke shoots out one of the windows—surely not an easy feat underwater.We put away the helmets and cross the yard with all kinds of junk strewn across it.I turn to him. “I apologize for ever calling your room a mess.”He chuckles, then knocks on the door once we reach it.Banging sounds from inside, followed by a scratchy voice. “Hold on!”Isaac and I exchange a curious glance.The door flings open, and a frazzled grey-haired merwoman stares at us. “What do you want?”“Pearl Lancaster?Isaac asks.“Yeah. Who’s askin’?”I clear my throat. “I’m sorry if we’re bothering you. My name is

He kisses my cheek. “Do you want to head back to the academy?”“No. I don’t want to see that place or the castle right now. Have any ideas?”“Actually, yes.”“Where?”He hands me my helmet. “You’ll see.”“Okay.”We climb on the bike and hit the road, heading to a part of Valora I’m not familiar with, and stopping in front of a graffitied brick building with dark windows.I pull off my helmet. “You don’t have to try to impress me.”He laughs. “You might actually end up impressed by the time we’re done.”For some reason, that makes my heart race. “What do you have planned?”Isaac pulls me close and presses his lips on mine. “You’ll see.” He takes my hand and opens the chipped door. Inside, bright lights shine and loud music plays. Several people greet Isaac by name.It takes me a moment to realize we’re in a tattoo parlor. I glance at him. “Why are we here?”He squeezes my hand. “You’ll see.”I stare at some needles on a table and hold my breath. He’d better not be expecting me to get o

Go for it.” He cocks a brow.I don’t know why I’m so nervous. But I ignore my shaking hands and pull up on the bottom of his shirt until it comes all the way off. My stomach tingles and I manage to focus my attention on the new tattoo. I run my fingertip around it, careful not to bother the irritated skin. Then I look up at him and swallow. “I love it, but I hope you don’t end up regretting it.”“Why would I? Should I be worried about something?”“No. I only ever want to be with you, but—”“But nothing.” He pulls me close and kisses me.I lose myself in the moment and run my palms down his perfect arms.Voices sound down the path. Isaac pulls away and puts his shirt back on. Earwyn and her dogfish pass us, but instead of shooting me a glare she stops and gives me a sympathetic glance. “I hope your stomach is better.”Cove and Vanya nod and voice their agreement.“Uh, thanks.” I hardly know how to handle them acting nice.Earwyn glances over at Isaac and wrinkles her nose.“What?” he a

Chapter 47

Well, you know what you’re talking about.”“Any chance of you coming to the castle tonight? Your mom has more wedding stuff she wants to show you. Things I apparently can’t see.”I stifle a yawn. “It’ll have to wait. I really have to study after dinner. Unfortunately, there’s no getting around it.”“Do you need me to cast another study spell?”“Won’t help. I have to actually read the textbook and go over my notes to learn the stuff. Magic can only go so far.”“You haven’t had time to study for your other class?” Concern fills his eyes.“Not with everything else going on.”He nods. “I’ll let your mother know you’d like to visit. You do need to excel at your studies if you’re going to rule the oceans one day. Can’t skimp on your education.”We discuss the future until we reach the dining hall—just as the bell rings. The other students all stop as they near us and bow to him, and some even praise him. I’m not sure that’s something I’ll ever adjust to.After I get inside, Isaac waves me o

Chapter 48

“It has.”Erica turns to me. “I hate to interrupt, but it looks like your driver is heading this way. Oh, and for what it’s worth, I’m in total agreement with Isaac.”“Thanks.”He kisses my cheek. “Keep us in mind if things get hard. Picture us in the stands screaming your name.I force a smile. “Thanks. But seriously, if things get hard? I’ve heard several people mention a sea dragon.”Isaac gives me his crooked smile. “Those things don’t exist.”“People used to think the same thing about Mrs Walker until I basically turned into her.”He runs his fingertips along my jawline and gazes into my eyes. “You didn't turn into her. You’re Mila , and you have your own strengths and powers. Did she have the Mila power? Did she have Erica and me on her side? No, she didn’t. You’re going to be greater than she ever was—so much so that people will forget all about her. Thousands of years in the future, people will whisper rumors about you alone.”“I think you give me too much credit.”He starts t

Chapter 49

The merwoman returns and says something that sounds like it’s time.Mom squeezes my hand and gives me a reassuring glance. “You’ve got this. We’re all rooting for you.”“Thanks. Where’s Dad?”“He’s preparing for the final trial.” Mom closes her eyes for a moment. “I hope he’s right about his plan. I’ve been worried sick.”My stomach lurches. “I don’t want this any more than you do.” I want to tell her about my secret plan, but I don’t dare with someone else in the room. Especially not someone I can’t understand.We part ways, and I follow Shelly down a hall with the trident. We go through another door into a locker room. Cheers from a crowd sound on the other side of another wall.She turns to me, and I actually understand her. “They’re announcing you.”I force a smile. “Great.”“This way.” She leads me down another hallway, and the noise from the crowd grows louder.If I don’t pass the trials, everyone in Valora will know. They’re expecting me to be successful. And they also have no

Chapter 50

Ever.The audience gets louder and louder, making it impossible to think. I grab a yellow piece and move it. My stomach knots. I’ve moved without a solid strategy.Cheers and applause replace the pleas to move.My pulse pounds in my ears as I consider my next move. It has to be a green gem. And if I place it on the wrong circle, I lose. In front of everyone.The viewers grow antsy before long, and without putting any thought into it, I move a green piece. Then a blue one. I barely take the time to breathe before I continue along, going around the board, moving each gem in order. The crowd grows even louder each time I take another turn.Much to my surprise, I haven’t blocked any of the pieces yet. Each one has two possible moves. The noise makes it hard to think, but somehow just moving them without too much thought is actually working. Each color is getting closer to the other side, and I haven’t blocked any of them.Before I know it, the blues are all in their places. My breath hitc
