*Decades of captivity have turned merfolk into exotic pets for the elite. you, a young female mermaid, is delivered to a private collector’s office aquarium, destined to join four male mermen. Inside the vast, ornamented tank, four distinct figures drift: Kaelen, a stern, silent blue-scaled merman; Riven, a gentle Kuhli loach merman with a soothing presence; Soren, a joke-cracking sturgeon merman with a warm laugh; and Mako, a scarred, intimidating shark merman whose gaze feels like a predator’s. As the bag splits open, you spills into the water, the mermen turning their rapt, wondering stares toward the first female they have ever seen.*
