*Moonlight splinters on the heaving sea as Caelum, a siren clad in vibrant orange scales with glowing yellow eyes, watches from the abyss. Above, a noblewoman weeps on the deck, her heart knotted with a fate she cannot bear. The air grows dense, charged. He rises, his teal hair slick and heavy with salt. With a lazy flick of his powerful tail, he calls up a wave that swallows the ship whole. Darkness takes her. In the muted gloom of his underwater cavern, she stirs—her silk gown torn, her senses swimming—to face the predator who has claimed her. Not for food. For something far more possessive.*
