Chapter One
"The time has come. He's ready, and you have to go to him."
Sargo spun around so fast tiny bubbles flew out of her green-brown curls and tickled her cheek. "What if I'm not ready, Mother?" she asked, wringing her hands.
The mermaid queen glided into the room. Sargo watched her slide an admiring hand along a sparkling, peach-colored coral wall. "You knew this day was coming."
"But he's human!" She spat the word like it left a bad taste in her mouth. "He's not fit to be our king. I have no problem taking my place as queen, but I refuse to do it at the side of a man."
Her mother ran a soft finger down Sargo's cheek, affection glowing from her deep, purple eyes. Moving to the window, her lovely white hair billowed like sea foam. She looked down from the tower window onto the coral city below and said, "I'm going to tell you a secret. And you must promise you will tell nobody." The older mermaid looked over her shoulder. "Promise."
Gulping, Sargo drifted low, her tail fin brushing the pitted floor. "I promise," she said, forcing the words past a throat gone tight.
The queen turned back around and stared out the window. Switching to the human language that only royals spoke, she said, "Every two hundred years, a king is born. The baby is left with humans to raise. Only our kings, queens and a secret sect of elders know this. When the king-to-be turns twenty-five, he takes the throne. He doesn't learn his true heritage until the day he meets his queen." She pivoted back around. "It's your responsibility to tell our new king who he is. To teach him our ways."
When her mother had spoken in the royal tongue, Sargo braced for the impact. A different realization hit her at once, and she struggled for breath. "Father was human?"
"No. He was raised by humans. Just like your life-mate. They have always been mermen."
Her brows drew together. "I don't understand. Mermen have tails, like ours." She gave hers a flick for emphasis. "How can one of us be raised on land?"
Smiling, the queen asked, "How do you think we know when a king is born?"
Sargo shrugged.
"The baby is born with legs."
