Alteration

The letter arrives: Ondine’s final assignment in her teaching program that will finally—finally—secure her future on the Isle of Mardona. The process has been difficult due to her father’s Neridian bloodline, but also the legacy her mother left in the wake of her death. But this final step will put all of that in the past where it belongs, and Ondine will settle into her place on the Isle. But there’s a problem. She has been assigned to teach at Regiatus: an underwater school in deep Neridia. Not only is Neridia dangerous—especially for Ondine—but her assignment throws her plans into chaos.

Ondine chose her future. She jumped. And everything changed. Now Altered in body and thrust into a culture she barely understands, Ondine must navigate a world far more complicated than she ever imagined. Her transformation has consequences she never anticipated, ones that reach beyond her own fate to Regiatus, the people she loves, and the fragile balance of Neridia itself. As buried truths about her past come to light, the cost of her choice becomes impossible to ignore.
