(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 9 in The Family Ties Series) (TW: self-harm) Drew Mercer is no stranger to tragedy. The loss of both his biological sisters and father hardened him, transforming him from the lighthearted and carefree merman of his childhood to the cynical and tense merman he is now. Discovering that his biological mother had been alive for nearly two decades shook him to his core. After making a heartbreaking discovery, an old enemy returns, giving Drew an ultimatum: go with her and leave his family unharmed, or stay and watch everyone he loves die because of him. The catch? He is locked in a room nearly 24/7, trapped in the throes of a terrible poison. Despite having few memories of his family and loved ones, he manages to hold on to a single image: a mermaid with grey eyes and blonde hair. He doesn't know who she is or why he keeps remembering her, but he is determined to return to her no matter the cost. Is he strong enough to fight against the poison, or will he ultimately succumb to the agony he faces nearly every minute of every day? Read to find out.
