      I stand on the deck of the Huntress, blinking snowflakes from my eyelashes. In the palm of my hand rests a green jewel. When I peer inside it, my own grey eyes stare back, jolting ripples of shock through my chest in time with the oarsman’s drum.

       The jewel turns cold, wet and blubbery. Then it grows a spotted skin, like a whale shark. Gills wheeze open in its surface, oozing foam.

       I know, sure as the Sea-Tribe blood in my veins, that I’m holding the Storm-Opal of the sea.

       And I know I have to protect it, with every stitch of me, but the burden presses on my shoulders, heavier than the beat
