A princess locked away since birth. A curse whispered through the kingdom. And a knight sent to bring her back... who starts to question everything he was told.
Princess Elena has spent her entire life inside palace walls-hidden away after a witch cursed her the day she was born. To the kingdom, she is something dangerous. To her parents, something to protect. To herself... she is simply trapped.
But on the night she turns sixteen, Elena runs.
Her escape leads her to a forgotten magical lagoon, where mermaids hide secrets beneath the water and the world feels alive for the first time.
When Sir Kaelin Averly, a young knight known for his loyalty, humor, and reckless bravery, is sent to find her, he expects to bring a runaway princess home.
Instead, he finds a girl who never truly got to live.
As the line between duty and truth begins to blur, Kaelin is forced to ask himself:
Was Elena ever meant to be saved... or was she meant to be free?
And what really lies behind the curse that started it all?
