The whale is a wizard, and she enlists Kit and Nita in battle against the sinister Lone Power. Off Long Island, a young humpback named S’reee lies stranded by a whaler’s harpoon.
Undersea tremors are rattling the shelf, threatening to tear the beaches apart.
Kit dons a whalesark to become a sperm whale, while Nita takes humpback form. Becoming whales themselves, Nita and Kit join in an ancient ritual performed by whales, dolphins, and a single fearsome shark.
Together they descend the cliffs of Hudson Canyon toward the abyss. But which poses more of a danger: the Lone Power, or ed'Rashtekaresket, the enormous shark as old as the sea?
