Summary
The year is 1717. The British port city of Alicante is under siege—sea monsters, typically scarce and reclusive, have begun to appear in droves, terrorizing anyone who ventures out into the ocean. Desperate to bring the situation under control, the British Navy sends every young man they can find on dangerous hunting expeditions.
Captain James Herondale and his crew of hooligans answer the call, but they have their own ideas about how the situation should be handled. Thomas Lightwood, their level-headed navigator, worries. He worries they will be caught between conflicts in the sea and on the shore; he worries about James's increasingly mysterious behavior; he worries, most of all, about the benevolent creatures he knows hide beneath the treacherous waves.
Hoping to escape the dangers of the deep ocean and begin a new life with her children, Sona Carstairs relocates her family to Alicante. Quickly, she realizes her mistake—the once-safe waters are no longer, plagued by monsters and Navy ships willing to kill sea-dwellers indiscriminately. With nowhere else to go, Cordelia and Alastair must act quickly to find safety. But in these strange times, safety on any terrain may be hard to come by.
