Determined to save him, the girls venture into the deep, and discover the enchanting world of the Free Waters: a vast, glittering underwater city, home to mermaids and sirens. But the Free Waters are threatened by a monstrous and terrifying evil: the Sea Queen. It is she who has Henry in her clutches – and the girls must complete three treacherous and impossible magical tasks if they are to save his life . . .
