She would be nearly blind without her thick eyeglasses. On her nape rests a striking blue birthmark in the shape of three dolphins intertwined.Nikka dearly loves her father and mother, and gets along famously with her twin brother. She has yet to venture outside Kansas, which may be why she lately senses that something is lacking in her otherwise contented, arguably humdrum life.But when an erratic, obsessed federal agent shows up on her doorstep, making bizarre claims about space aliens living hidden among humankind, Nikka will be obliged to face some uncomfortable truths that call into question all that she thought she knew about the world.And about herself.…

Heedless of the Mâren's Law of Concealment, mâr renegades have increasingly been playing dirty tricks on 'drylanders,' and ubiquitous surveillance technologies have been capturing more and more mâren unawares on camera.Nikka may soon wonder whether the time has come for the Maren to swim up from the oceans' depths and take their rightful place among Earth's other peoples.However, unbeknownst to everyone but a vengeful mâr and a mad scientist, the greatest threat ever to humankind's future is set to be unleashed.…
