Beneath the gilded calm of dawn lies a secret the sea has never meant to share. Young David Dawson, heir to a wealthy shipping family, glimpses something no sailor dares believe-a mermaid's laughter, bright as bells, glittering scales scattering sunlight across the waves. To the crew, it's nothing but childish fancy. To David, it is proof that wonder breathes beneath the water's skin. But as whispers stir of empty nets and unseen eyes in the deep, doubt gnaws even at hardened men. For what begins as a child's secret encounter may ripple into something far greater, drawing the Dawson family-and their sheltered heir-into tides of myth, danger, and a truth the ocean keeps only for those bold enough to listen.
