Synopsis:
Long ago, in a far off land, there rose a tale as old as the earth.
As long as Ryne can remember, his parents told him to beware the nix in the lake. From the day he was born, the tale of the nix and how she demanded Ryne as her prize for setting his captured father free has defined Ryne’s life. No matter what he does, he can’t shed its curse…in everyone’s eyes, Ryne is doomed to die.
Nari is the only one who befriends Ryne, and loves him without fear despite the villagers’ relentless jeers. But when Ryne disappears beneath the cold waters of the lake, everyone believes he’s dead. Everyone except Nari.

AUTHOR BIO:
Shea
Berkley started out writing nonfiction (not so fun) and quickly moved
into fiction (totally fun), and knew she'd found her calling. (Her
family was thrilled she'd found friends to play with even if they
weren't technically real.) She's still pleasantly surprised people are
willing to pay to read her stories. Besides writing, her many diversions
include kickboxing, reading awesome books and hanging out with her loud
and rambunctious family. With five kids (all girls), her biggest job is
to make sure the little darlings don't harass the neighbors and then
play dumb when the cops come knocking on her door.
