Sleepless nights and city lights with none but the stars and shadows to see their shared secret. But when its revealed that the mysterious guest of hers' harbors a dark secret of his own that may potentially cause her harm, Lyla suddenly becomes aware of the shadow of danger, that has already started crawling up her legs

in which a girl encounters a siren who needs to be a human to get rid of his loneliness. __________________________ It has been two weeks since Clara's brother got lost in the ocean. Lost in a trance caused by her deep-rooted grief, Clara wanders the shore, trying to understand what made her brother love and admire the deep-sea waters. She might have desired to be lost in the ocean to be with her brother once again, but getting lost in deep blue eyes and dancing in the thread that divided her fantasies from her realities was not it. Gods, sirens, and their history together shall bring forth a world and an emotional journey that Clara must confront at the cost of her sanity, for she shall realize soon, that everything is indeed fair in love and war.
