In the silent, crushing dark of the deep sea, Prince Kaelen defied the king's law. He slipped through a fissure in the palace rock, gliding into a secluded cove where bioluminescent corals pulsed with a drowned heartbeat. Their ghostly light illuminated a graveyard of ancient shipwrecks and forgotten treasures scattered across the sand. And there, ahead of him, was another—a solitary merman moving with a grace that stole his breath. Curiosity became a physical pull, overriding every warning. He surged forward, closing the distance between them.
