Dawn on a Jade Sea
Merfolk Trilogy #2 In the sapphire waters deep below the ocean's surface lived a wondrous race of beautiful men and women. Although they have walked among the people of the land, they have remained separate, their true natures hidden--until an exquisite woman bound her destiny with that of a forbidden man. SHE WAS A SHIMMERING BEAUTY FROM A KINGDOM OF LEGEND Dark hair flowing past her shoulders, eyes the gray of a stormy sea, Rhea stepped from the ocean as if a goddess--if a goddess could fight with the skills of ancient martial arts and love with the depth of a woman of flesh and blood. A vision had brought her to the glorious city of Ch'ang-an, compelling her to seek a warrior called Zhao, the Red Tiger.... HE WAS A MAGNIFICENT MAN OF FIRE AND JADE His green eyes and fiery hair proclaimed him a foreigner in the city; his healing arts won him the favor of the royal family and turned the gaze of a deadly enemy upon him. Now, twelve harvests after he had rescued her from the ravages of a thundering storm, Rhea will find him. And amid the jasmine of the Imperial Park, passion will be born, hot as fire, strong as steel, eternal as the ocean tides... even as treachery carries the two lovers to a fate that threatens their love and their very lives.
