Official synopsis Publisher
A relieved Rayna headed to the front of the boat, but she sensed the stillness and silence, and the fresh flow of fear that came with it. The first thing she noticed was the long blond hair floating out around Christina’s head, which was facing downward. She looked like an angel hovering in a sea of fairy lights. Her lower body hung loosely in the water like a nightshirt suspended on a clothesline.
