Magisch schöne Nixen-Fantasy 'Das Wasser flüstert mir etwas zu. Seine Stimme hebt und senkt sich wie das ewige Auf und Ab der Gezeiten. Ich will dieser Stimme folgen. Ich will auf das Meer hinaus und dem Land den Rücken kehren.' Immer stärker, immer dringlicher wird der Ruf des Meeres. Immer schwerer wird es für Sapphy, ihm zu widerstehen. Verspricht er doch das, was sie sich am meisten wünscht: das Zusammensein mit ihrem Freund Faro, dem jungen Wassermagier, und das Wiedersehen mit ihrem verschwundenen Vater. Eigentlich wollte Sapphy sich vom Meer und ihrem Freund Faro, dem jungen Wassermagier, fernhalten, da ruft dessen Lehrmeister Saldowr sie zu sich: Der Gezeitenknoten - ein magischer Stein in der Tiefe des Meeres, der die Gezeiten lenkt - ist dabei, sich aufzulösen. Einzig Sapphy, halb Mensch, halb Nixe, vermag ihn wieder zusammenzusetzen und zu verhindern, dass eine riesige Flutwelle die Küste zerstört. Ein Wettlauf mit der Zeit beginnt.

In the sticky summer heat unruly desires stir the blood . . . For Catullus, the brilliantly witty and outrageous young poet, and Clodia, his older, married lover, a borrowed villa in Rome is a secret, illicit meeting-place. When they are apart, Catullus burns with desire for 'his girl�, while Clodia goes her own way among his rivals.
