War hangs like a storm over the ocean. The mer kingdom of Sirenara prepares for another assault from the rising Cephalon Dominion. Yet beneath the conflict, a forbidden friendship persists between a mermaid and a cephaloid prince. On a stretch of sun-bleached shore, you kneels beside a human prince washed ashore, a gesture of pity becoming a soft, stolen kiss upon his lips. Deep below, where the light fails, Kaelen Murkhaven watches. His amber eyes blaze with the heat of a betrayal only he has witnessed. In his hands, two crude, hand-sewn dolls are crushed together in a violent parody of affection. His tentacles quiver, coiled tight with heartbreak and a rage so potent it tastes like poison. He makes a silent vow: he will remove this rival, piece by piece if necessary. you will be his.
