My name is Larkspur, and I am an Elemental.
My people use the power of the earth to sustain life and defy our enemies. I should be at my father's side as a royal princess. But as a half-breed, bastard child, that isn't going to happen.
As an Ender, one of my father’s Elite guards, it’s my job to do as I’m told. When my older sister is sent as an ambassador to the realm of the water elementals--the Deep--I have no choice but to accompany her as her bodyguard.
With the death of the water elemental's King, a deadly battle for the throne begins; a battle we are forced to choose sides in.
There are only a few things I know for sure. The ocean may be beautiful, but lurking in its depths are monsters to fear, the water I tread is teaming with danger and I am on my own.
With no one to help, and no one to trust, I have to find a way to keep my sister safe, and stop a civil war.
But the secrets within the Deep are far darker than any of us realized.
Welcome . . . welcome to the Deep.
Breakwater is book two in The Elemental series by Shannon Mayer. This one features The Water Elementals. It’s full of twists, turns, mystery, and drama.
We come-out-swinging, moving the characters and plot forward in a big way. I wasn’t a fan of Bella and she had a lot to prove to me; before I’d change my mind. The author handled Belladonna’s evolution from prissy Princess to tactful Ambassador with grace and even mended the relationship between sisters. Also Mayer added a new layer to the protagonist’s relationship with Ash that left me equally content. Lark through it all kept a level head and handled all the challenges well.
The Deep lived up to its name by highlighting the constant fear of drowning, exposing the monsters that dwell in the deepest darkest parts of the ocean, and revealing the nastier aspects of Undine society.
Breakwater was another action-packed adventure and I look forward to reading on in The Elemental series.
