After learning that the crystal originally came from a familiar place--Halflight Castle!--Shona and Emily reunite there with Aaron . . . and none other than Neptune, king of the oceans. The bangle leads the mermaids to a cave full of crystals, and, with Mandy's help, they discover the truth about the jewel's origin--and what's at stake if they don't make things right.
