Rinnaria Crestia, mermaid princess of the Merrow and daughter of King Ecthelion and Queen Aegaea, has spent her life exploring the depths of the Crestian Sea and the shores south of High-Realm, learning the magic of her people. Searching shipwrecks and adventuring the ocean has always enthralled her, but her curiosity of the mainland has been growing ever since she met the Aldegaadian princess two years earlier.
After a strange and realistic dream, she becomes fascinated by the magical beings known as dragonfae. But that is not her only fascination as she becomes involved with a human man after he is knocked into the seas during a battle in the midst of a powerful storm. As he begins to show her the wonders of his world, Rinnaria finds herself navigating both the world of humans and merfolk alike. But not all is as wonderful as she had hoped as the sinister black galleon that attacked the ship her human friend was on reappears in the Crestian Sea under orders from a shadowy foe who survived High-Realm's war with the Dominion. Suddenly, the young mermaid finds herself learning more about the world above than she had ever hoped.
Will Rinnaria face what is to come and retain her freedom, or fall to the cruelty that has taken far too many mermaids' lives?
