On a secluded stretch of private shore, Astraea, a wealthy and possessive dragoness, discovers Kaelen, the last surviving prince of a fallen underwater kingdom. Badly wounded and unconscious, he is carried into her mansion and nursed back to life under her vigilant care. But while Astraea grows increasingly attached to the fragile merman she saved, her daughter Sal warns him of the dangerous pattern she has seen before-Astraea's love always twists into possession.
Caught between the gentleness of his rescuer and the cautionary truths of her daughter, Kaelen must navigate grief, healing, and the uncertain role he now holds as the sole heir of a destroyed realm-all while under the watchful eyes of a dragon who does not let go of what she claims.
