Aura can hold her breath underwater longer than most people because she is half telchine, an ancient race of sea creatures that lived in the warm waters around the island of Rhodes. But when an earthquake strikes while she is diving after a strange blue sponge, her foot gets trapped in a crevice and she almost drowns. Only her courage to cut herself free saves her life. The sponge turns out to be Poseidon's Gift, a magical creature that has the power to open the barrier between the telchine and human worlds. When Aura brings it to the surface to find her island home in ruins, she becomes caught up in an ancient war between the two races and must decide where her loyalty lies.
