This is the first in Lasky's planned Daughters of the Sea series, with plenty left open for later titles. The story's plot seems to take a backseat to historical detail: while readers will likely suspect the revelations to come, they are a long time in arriving, and the story offers little in the way of closure. Lasky is at her best in evoking Hannah's aquatic preoccupation and the way it molds her perception of everything around her. Domestic work brings Hannah the opportunity to experience many marvelous things, but what draws and troubles her most are portrait painter Stannish Whitman Wheeler, who seems to understand her in uncanny ways, and the eldest daughter of the house, Lila Hawley, whose malice is equally inexplicable. Persuading her benefactors to send her back to Boston, she is hired as a scullery maid. She yearns for independence, but a persistent suitor, Rudd, wants to tame her spirited.
She longs for books, but her mother finds her passion for learning strange. The sea calls to her, but her parents forbid her from swimming. This longing soon turns to illness, as her skin begins to flake in tiny, iridescent crystals.
