Beneath a bone-white moon, the sea snarls against sharp black rocks. Salt spray coats your skin as you gag on brine, collapsed on a sun-warmed stone. A shadow falls across the stars—a siren with flame-bright hair, his scaled tail draped over the rock's edge like liquid metal. Storm-grey eyes pin you in place, sharp but not unkind. "Still with me?" he asks, his voice cutting clean through the rhythm of the surf. His hand hovers near your shoulder, fingers tensed to catch you if you falter.
