Synopsis:
Will she be his landwalker or will she catch the big prize only to throw
it back?
Over-worked business-woman, Naida Lamont, convinced by her nosy, well
meaning best friends to take a vacation, finds more than she bargained for.
Giving in, everyone else would have gone to Hawaii or Mexico but not Naida.
She chose to go to the very small, very remote island of Kumantie.
Her first night is remarkable and totally unbelievable when a stranger
professing to be a merman claims she's the woman his legend foretold about.
Calix is too damn sexy to be crazy and she wants him every time she sees
him. He has a destiny to fulfill but she doesn't feel like the prophesied
landwalker who will save his sea kingdom.

Naida travels to her getaway home in Kumantie, a small
island in the Carribean, to get away from all the stress of her career.
Never did she dream of meeting a naked man washed up on the beach or falling
in love with him, but he has a secret.
Telling a story in under fifty-pages is always a challenge and not always
appropriate for every story. Poseidon's Sacrifice is a story I
believe better told in a longer novel. Both Naida and Calix are very flat
and it was hard to feel anything for the characters. Calix is the son of
Poseidon and asked to perform a dangerous ritual to save his home beneath
the wave but thought many have tried and failed with the result of death,
Calix does no more than sweat a bit while performing it. The transformation
of Naida from human to mermaid is very unbelievable. The idea behind
Poseidon's Sacrifice is a good one, if the characters and story were
fleshed out more.
