Emilia está en el limbo. Para armar el relato de sus dieciocho años acude a las instantáneas que conforman su memoria: su abuela postrada para rezar. Ella misma sentada en las piernas de un sacerdote. El día que conocía a Matías. La noche en que logró escuchar a Júpiter. Emilia quiere salir del coma pero su única vía de contacto con el exterior es también su mayor fobia: una mariposa. Ella ha visto ya tres simulacros del fin del mundo pero los jinetes del apocalipsis tienen que completar el número cuatro.

The sea has always called to Sofia, even when she and her mom lived in a big city nowhere near its shore. That's how Sofia always knew she was a mermaid--that, and the fact that the sea and its creatures are much easier to understand than people. Like her mother, who is sending Sofia away instead of her barracuda of a boyfriend; that's a flying fish if Sofia's ever seen one, spending so much time reaching for the sky she can't see what's going on below the surface. When Sofia meets her abuela, she knows she's up against a sea dragon.
