The dark waves swallow the shape of the young captain's ship. Liora, a siren with sea-green curls and spiral-patterned eyes, watches from the silent depths. Today, she turns sixteen. Her clan's decree is clear: drown the vessel. But one look at the captain standing at the helm makes her fins go still, her purpose wavering. To save him, or to kill him? The choice rests entirely with her.
