Reworked Query

When small town coroner Evie Dalton examined the body of an elderly man, found sitting in his rocking chair with a book on his lap and a dagger in his heart, she never imagined that her life was going to change completely. Then she touched the dagger in the old man’s chest, and her mind opened to the watery world his murderer came from. A strange encounter in that world left her pregnant with Little Fish, a child of the water that will have abilities beyond her imagination and control.
Now she must choose sides between the man in the lake, who could protect her and help her understand this child, or the woman in the rain, who wants to take the child from her, giving her the chance to live a normal life. As tries to deal with this pregnancy, she learns more about these creatures, and finds connections to another murder in the town’s history. Along with the deceased’s widow and the town’s sheriff, Evie embarks on a mission to discover the reason behind the deaths, and how they are linked to the fate of her child.
