Lorna seeks out the help of marine biologist Dr. Kitt Dawson -- and soon finds herself falling head over fins. Dr. Dawson is torn between logic and love when he encounters in Lorna something that he can't explain -- Is Lorna a mermaid or something different, someone new; a mermaid of mythology or of biology, the latter as much a process of transformation as falling in love?
Find out if Lorna will rebel against or embrace the changes her body undergoes, in a narrative that incorporates elements of mythology, biology, mystery and romantic comedy.

I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony. Something to "ooh" and "ahh" at by young and old their hands and faces pressed against the glass of my prison. I follow every order. I obey every command. I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for. He may let me return. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore. Please read at your own discretion- Highest rankings thanks to all of you wonderful readers! : #5 in "Mermaid" #17 in "Sirens"
