Ohmysweetgoodness! I like this explanation that the author uses for Emma, the heroine in this series.

This novel finds the Syrena royals on trial. The outcome may unseat the royals and imprison them forever. Safety seems elusive partly because of Emma. She is a halfbreed, an abomination for the Syrena who want to maintain the purity of their race. Whether the love she and Galen share can endure is doubtful as opposing sides testify. Emma's mother is the missing princess, Nalia, who was meant to be the current queen. A segment of the population believes that she is a fraud and her beloved has mated with a common because he believed that she was dead. As chaos swirls around events readers discover that both Galen and his twin sister have the valued talents of their race but whether this can yield unity remains to be determined. The tale flows well as Emma and Galen determine that their love means that they are meant for each other. The outcome of the trial may decide their future.
