" Help me!" the girl'' s voice sobs.

It'' s only a dream, Lacht tells herself.

But what if it isn''t?

Under Wasso Lake live the Wassandra. The underwater people have abnormally long arms and fingers and aren'' t to be trusted- at least that'' s what Stalli guide, Crispin, tells Lacht and her family as he takes them to a village on the shores of the lake.

Lacht is intrigued; especially when she hears the Wassandra want help to find a missing child. Then dreams of the frightened girl begin troubling her.

When they arrive at the golden lake, Lacht thinks it'' s the most beautiful place she'' s ever seen- until a bizarre discovery terrifies her.

" Help me!" cries the Wassandra girl in one last dream, but can Lacht find the courage to face the horrifying creature she sees in that dream?
