Once, I was drowning.
At the bottom of the sea, I can't breath.
At that time I thought, "Is this the end?"
Turns out God answered me, "No, everything is nothing but a beginning."
And so, God gave me salvation.
For I can breath the next second.
Overjoyed, I swimmed to the shore.
Thinking, "I want to meet my family and friends. They must be worried about me."
I swimmed and swimmed, finally reaching the shore.
There, my loved ones are searching for the missing me.
As much as I want to hug them now, I didn't rush to them. Instead, I wanted to give them a surprise, so I hide behing a big rock.
At the moment they are about to give up searching, I appeared before them.
But...
"aaAaaAAAHHH..!!!!!!!!!!!"
At that time I thought, 'Why are you screaming, mom???'
Then, I realize my body's abnormalities.
Oh.
So that's why they look scared.
I TURNED INTO A F*CKING MERMAID!!!!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Six years ago, Aelin Riorson was believed to have died at the hands of Colonel Aetos, with her brother Xaden helplessly watching as her throat was slit. But Aelin survived - and went into hiding, assuming the alias Lillian Parker to protect herself, her brother, and the rebellion. She looks little like Xaden, with pale skin, strawberry-blonde curls, and a gentle demeanor. But her mismatched eyes - golden onyx in one, emerald green in the other - and the knife scar across her neck are the undeniable clues to her true identity.
Now, as she enters the Riders' Quadrant, Aelin must keep her past buried. She bonds with Zyphira, a dragon tied to her family's lost legacy, and her signet manifests a dangerous power: a fusion of light and shadow, like her brother's own. As Aelin grows closer to Liam, another rebel, the weight of her secrets grows heavier. But when Xaden begins to question the night she died, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel.
In a world where secrets can kill, Aelin's survival hinges on keeping her true identity hidden - but the truth may be impossible to deny.
