 MessageBody">Annie MacLeod always knew she was different\, growing up on a
  sailboat in the Pacific Northwest\, navigating by stars and swimming with
  sea creatures alongside her parents and best friend Evan. But when a tsun
 ami shatters her world\, Annie is stranded on land and forced to confront 
 how eccentric she is. In the wreckage\, she rescues a wordless man named W
 alker\, who emits a hum only she can hear.</div>\n<div></div>\n<div>Their 
 connection is instant\, electric. Walker&rsquo\;s touch gives Annie vision
 s of the ocean&rsquo\;s hidden world\, a life she&rsquo\;s never known but
  feels inexplicably drawn to. Yet even as she is pulled toward him\, Evan&
 mdash\;the steadfast love who has always been there&mdash\;remains on dry 
 land\, offering the stability she may have to leave behind. Annie is torn 
 between Evan&rsquo\;s grounding presence and Walker&rsquo\;s magnetic secr
 ets. But then\, Walker vanishes\, along with the answers she needs about w
 ho she really is.</div>\n<div></div>\n<div>Six years later\, Annie has lef
 t the sea and buried the past&mdash\;until Walker&rsquo\;s otherworldly so
 und returns\, pulling her back toward the ocean and the life she abandoned
 . The truth under the water is more ancient than she ever could have known
 \, and Annie must confront a choice that will test her heart and determine
  her future.</div>\n<p><strong>EVENT DETAILS</strong></p>\n<p>The event is
