Wren, a sharp-tongued and self-serving pirate, has always sought treasure above all else. But when he encounters an ostracized, amnesiac god with a mysterious past, his quest for wealth takes an unexpected turn. Initially, Wren sees the god as nothing more than an unwelcome travel partner, but the divine being's help becomes essential in his pursuit of a legendary treasure that has eluded even his father, a renown treasure hunter. As Wren and the god navigate the seas and land, they find themselves entangled in a fierce conflict between vindictive gods and monstrous beasts that threaten their realms. The stakes are high, and Wren quickly learns that the path to treasure is fraught with dangers beyond his wildest imaginings. Amidst the chaos, Wren discovers that the real threat may not be the gods or beasts, but the rising tensions between the islanders and mainlanders. As these human conflicts intensify, Wren must confront the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, humanity can be its own greatest enemy. ___________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!

One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one. Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others.

For years it went on like it would never end. But, it did. Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe. ******* "My heart has heated for the human and my blood has flown for him. Every time I thought of him, my heart would ache. It would ache so much I couldn't breathe, the feeling of despair, yet sweetness... Even so, I still couldn't stop thinking about him." So...this is how it feels to love a person. "I belong to you, just as this merman belongs to the seas. Like a falling leaf belongs to its roots."
