The Secrets of a Siren

The ocean does not only hide treasures.
It hides a kingdom's last breath.

For centuries, Solivara has stood unyielding atop jagged cliffs, its stone walls protected by a stolen light that holds the sea at bay. But far below, in the indigo depths of Aquallaris, that light is dying-and with it, the fate of the Mer.

Desperate to save her people, Mirelle, the youngest mermaid princess, makes a sacrifice no siren ever should. Bound by ancient magic, she trades her voice for human legs and rises to the surface with one impossible mission: steal back the Moonlight Pearl from the heart of the Iron Fortress.

She never expected to survive the shore.

Nor did she expect Prince Kaelen Sterling-the cold, brilliant Commander of the Iron Fleet, raised to hunt her kind-to be the one who finds her.

Instead of delivering her to the executioners, Kaelen hides the mysterious, shimmering girl within his own chambers... and claims she is his distant fiancée.

Trapped in a world of iron halls, high-collared gowns, and whispered lies, Mirelle discovers that the feared "Ice Prince" is not as heartless as the kingdom believes-and that beneath his steel composure lies a man just as imprisoned by duty as she is by silence.

But secrets cannot remain submerged forever.

When the truth surfaces and the tide turns, Kaelen will be forced to choose between crown and country-or the siren who became his home.

Because in Solivara, the sea is the enemy.
But to the Prince... she is the only thing that ever felt like belonging.
