Grief drives him to the sea. The sea answers back. After the death of his lover, a broken young noble stands at the edge of the waves, ready to vanish. Instead, he meets a pale-eyed woman who claims to be a mermaid-and awakens a curse older than superstition. By dawn, his fate is sealed. He is claimed by the ocean, slowly becoming one of its creatures. She is bound to the land, forced to rule his kingdom in his place, wearing a crown never meant for her. As storms gather and time slips away, love blooms where it should not. To break the curse, they must defy the sea itself-or surrender to it forever.
