U. S. Air Force sergeant Christine Canady, CC, feels that
there is something missing from her life, that elusive
spark. While spending her twenty fifth birthday alone and
seemingly forgotten by everyone, CC decides to create a
little magic of her own. Fueled by drink and emboldened by
the moon, she casts a spell to bring some magic into her
life. She never thought that her spell would work, and
soon she is taken by surprise when her world is flipped.
She embraces the magic, and welcomes the change. After
all, how can she refuse a gift that she asked for?
CC ends up in the body of the mermaid Undine, and is
immediately assaulted by Sarpedon, a merman. She seeks
refuge with the goddess Gaea and comes to an agreement. CC
can take the form of a human and live on land, but to
remain in that form she must find love. A violent storm
rips open the skies, and CC is left floundering in the
water in human form. A lovely merman takes pity on her and
helps her to land. Though quickly rescued by a gallant
knight and taken to a monastery, something is amiss. The
monastery offers sanctuary, the knight offers a
distraction, yet the call of the sea is unmistakable, and
she yearns for the handsome merman who dwells there.
Unfortunately, the sea also holds Sarpedon, the one she is
hiding from. Where will her heart choose to reside -- on
the land or in the sea?
P. C. Cast has brought new life to the story of Undine with
her incredible retelling of the mythical tale. She holds
her readers spellbound as she weaves a fascinating web of
love and deception. CC is a very likeable person, and that
makes it easier to escape into her world, to understand
what drives her to want something more out of her life.
GODDESS OF THE SEA is a magical romance that pulls you
under the water and does not let go. This is the first
book that I have read by Ms. Cast, and it has certainly
peaked my interest to pursue her other tales.
On the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, alone in her
apartment, Air Force Sergeant Christine Canady wished for
one thing: a little magic in her life. After drinking way
too much champagne, she performed, off all crazy things, a
goddess summoning ritual hoping that it would somehow make
her life a little less ordinary...but she never believed the
spell would actually work!
When her military plane crashes into the ocean, CC's mission
overseas takes an unexpected turn. She awakens to find
herself in a legendary time and place where magic rules the
land--occupying the body of the mythic mermaid Udindine. But
there is danger in the waters and the goddess Gaea turns
this modern, military gal into a beautiful damsel in
distress so that she can seek shelter on land. CC is soon
rescued by knight in shining armor. She should be falling in
love with this dream-come-true, but instead she aches for
the sea and Dylan, the sexy merman who has stolen her heart.
