The thrilling conclusion to this epic fantasy trilogy, the Sea Court is in all-out war to claim the throne, and Tristan's most trusted friend just became his fiercest rival. This clash of sand and sea will pit brother against brother—and there can only be one victor.

Two days. That's all the time Tristan Hart has to prevent all-out war. Since discovering he was part merman and heir to the Sea Throne, Tristan has been fighting for his future, his friends—his life.

Now to win the crown and save the girl he loves, Tristan will have to take the ultimate risk: unleash the ancient magic of Poseidon and release the kraken. Seriously. It's the only way to unite the three scattered pieces of the king's trident and stop the sea witch Nieve from taking the throne for herself.

Tristan's going to need all the help he can get. But the one person he could always depend on has betrayed him—Kurt now wants the throne for himself. Brother against brother—it's a brutal race to the finish, and there can only be one winner.

      Those who enjoy pure, lightweight fantasy fluff will find all they want in the conclusion of the Vicious Deep series.Mer-human hybrid Tristan descends, of course, from sea royalty, although his uncle Kurt really has a more direct claim to the sea throne. However, the evil Silver Queen Nieve holds the reins of power now. The book picks up amid action that recaps the previous books and sends Tristan off to a magical island so that he may prepare himself for the epic battle to come. There, he must battle the monstrous Naga, with unexpected results. At last ready for the big fight, he returns to Coney Island, where he unites with vampires to help him in the battle. Yes, merpeople and vampires. All the while, Tristan is plagued by vivid visions of the future. The final battle plays out with magical creatures such as a giant turtle and a sea horse the size of a whale. Cordova lightens the narrative by including a sprinkling of comedy drawn from Tristan's cocky Brooklyn attitude. The relationships involved are so complex that readers new to the series would be well-advised to start with the first book, as the author includes little recap, and even fans may need a refresher. Tristan's true love, captured by Nieve, plays almost no role, which keeps the focus on action.Fans of the mermaid craze will enjoy it. Others may struggle. (Paranormal romance. 12-18)
