This YA debut sees teenager’s car accident expose her connection to the supposedly mythological Poseidon.
Don’t drive in the rain today.”Later, as Callista drives to pick up Tad from swim practice,a vehicle forces her truck from the rain-slicked rood, through the guardrail, and into the ocean. She struggles to escape the rapidly flooding cabin when a dashing rescuer appears. Callista’s hero is none other than Triton of Greek mythology. He gets her to the hospital, where she lies comatose thanks to the toxic sting of a stonefish.

The author also throws down the gauntlet when Triton says: “Life starts from conception for us all.” Fractious events and Surprise returns clear the decks for the sequel-
