Marcella Rolleston didn’t realise she had an older sister until the night she met her cousin. According to Madison, Roxie walked up the hill behind their house one day and never returned.
The house belonged to Marcy’s brother, Ashleigh now. Marcy had spent her life travelling the world with her father. She’d thought she was travel fatigued until she stepped sideways through time, to a world where Roxanne the Restless was legendary.
A world where her mother was known as Eleanor the faithless, her father Jarvis the stud. A world where they still sang her Uncle Milo’s songs.
The songs didn’t impress Madison. Although she was the illegitimate daughter of Miles Dorchester she’d never met him. She never wanted to either. But she was glad she’d met Marcy. Well at least until Marcy took to wearing those too-short shorts. No wonder Jack couldn’t keep his eyes off her legs. Darius too, truth be told. Not that she had anything to worry about. Marcy wasn’t that kind of girl.
Things were sweet until Darius left Madison with her half-sister, Dahlia. Dahlia and her brothers were the only surviving descendants of the Ocean kingdoms. They had tails - fluorescent tails - and were pathologically obsessed with creating more of themselves. This all seemed kind of cool, until Madison discovered they could only reproduce with another of Harrison’s descendants.
There was nothing sweet about being hauled through the ocean by your hair. Fortunately unlike Jack or Darius, the mermen preferred Marcy, something Marcy lost quite a bit of sleep over. What was wrong with her? Why did Jack take ten minutes to give Madison’s breath back yet had barely ten seconds to spare on her? Was she only attractive to freaks?
And why couldn’t she fall in love with Grayson? He was the coolest guy she’d ever met. Sure, he talked way too much and his shirts could use a good clean, but she’d never met anyone she’d felt so comfortable with.
Then Marcy found out what had happened to Roxie and falling in love no longer seemed quite so important. Harrison’s DNA had the power to create Gods or Monsters. Harrison’s DNA was growing within Dahlia’s womb, Jack’s wife Angelica’s too.
Were they the reason the birds had all died? Were they the reason the flying lizards had returned? Or was it something else. Something to do with Illyissia pronouncing Marcy to be the harbinger of change.
Besides Marcy wasn’t that kind of girl, was she?
