Agnes Allore's passions are simple: music, first and foremost, rules her heart. Second comes her best friend Daniel, a servant boy. As a girl, Agnes can do as she wishes; her beloved father indulges her willful spirit, and her troubled mother hardly pays her any mind at all. But as Agnes leaves her girlhood behind and becomes a young woman, she learns that dark secrets lurk beneath the surface of her influential family, and none of what she loves can go with her into the dark. --- Daniel Serran is a waif and a wanderer. When he and his disabled father come upon the Allore mansion, they expect to be turned away, but magnanimous Master Allore takes a chance on them. It's there that Daniel meets Agnes, the young lady of the house. Compared to her dazzling mother, Agnes is plain; compared to other women, she's rude and she's wild. But there is something about her that draws Daniel in, and he will never be the same. --- Plunge into a dark retelling of "The Little Mermaid," embellished with mermaid lore. In a world where men's greed knows no bounds, there are few happy endings.

Three Fates, Two Earths, One Chosen... After a cataclysmic event hurls three women to another Earth, they find themselves separated, stranded thousands of years in the past... in 1979. The same night an unknown object plunges into a lake, something ― or someone ― leads Danny McGahn to a mysterious girl with amnesia. Whether it was Divine Intervention or the Voice of Fate, he soon learns that being a good Samaritan has its consequences, turning his heart and life upside down. Despite the warning signs, Danny finds himself determined to help her, in any way he can, to remember who she is. Meanwhile, Lora believes she is the sole survivor and falls into a life of crime.
