Duca Armando is killed and Blu, a Praedatori, gets injured.
They spend the night there with the Praedatori, but Traho catches up to them and attacks the palazzo. From him, Sera and Neela learn that the attack on Miromara was done with the help of a human named Rafe Iaoro Mfeme. Sera, Neela, and the Praedatori arrive at the palazzo of Duca Armando, leader of the Praedatori. Thalassa decides to sacrifice herself so that Serafina and the rest can get away safely. The Praedatori arrive and help them escape, but they are ultimately overtaken by Traho and his men. Sera and Neela realize that they had the same dream about the Iele and are both part of the six mermaids. The princesses escape out of the palace, but they are captured by Markus Traho, who has also captured Thalassa.
Sera and her mother are able only to exchange a few parting words before a Blackclaw dragon attacks. The Kolisseo is in chaos, and Sera and Neela are escorted into the stateroom, where Isabella is dying. Right as she is finishing the songspell, her mother is shot with a poisoned arrow. She sings of the history of Atlantis and her hopes for the future. Sera passes easily and starts her songspell. The first part of the ceremony is the blooding, where the bronze monster Alítheia tastes Serafina's blood to determine if she is truly a descendant of Merrow. They are discussing the prospect of a war between the mer realms and the importance of the Dokimi. Back at the palace, Sera overhears a conversation between her mother and Vallerio, her uncle. Sera realizes that Lucia Volnero had been right and that Mahdi had changed. Neela is telling Sera about a weird dream she had when they find Mahdi and Yazeed asleep under a huge coral after a night of partying. Sera's best friend, Neela, arrives and they sneak out of the palace. Thalassa, the canta magus, comes to help Serafina practice her songspell, but Serafina is unable to focus, worried about the rumors that she has heard about Mahdi. Serafina wakes up from her dream to her Furry father, Sir Regina Isabella, berating her about her. In Peru it is the day of Serafina's Wedding. The mermaids must go to the River Olt in the black mountains, where the leader, Baba Vraja, will explain everything to them. Their chanting is revealed to be a prophecy, calling six mermaids to come together and defeat an evil monster before it is too late. A group of eight river witches are chanting in a circle around a blazing blue waterfire.
