She is still a young siren, one who has not yet learned about the corruption of men. All sirens, when they come of age, have a choice. Try and survive in the world of men, or swim for the rest of their immortal lives with the pack, hunting men and the occasional woman. Lucia doesn't understand the old traditions, and she seeks to change them.
One special night, she travels to a ball being thrown in Venice, Italy, by Prince Tristan Saerdum of Hellosam, the island country that lies in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and is constantly being hunted by her pack. Bumping into strangers has always been Lucia's strong point, but what will happen when love follows?
