Tempest begins developing gills and webbed feet as she approaches seventeen and resents the lineage connected with her family’s difficulties.
Tempest’s mother has been missing for six years, and her father struggles to care for Tempest and two other children.
Tempest’s relationship with her boyfriend is on the rocks while she feels an electric attraction to a mysterious boy connected with the sea.
The most useful preparation is to expect sustained attention to transformation, a missing mother, family difficulty and an unsettled romantic situation.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
