She's breathing, water being the only thing that seeps in. Her lungs stretch under the pressure, yet the oxygen they desperately crave isn't forthcoming. A man watches from afar, his complexion extraordinary pale. The drowning woman's stubbornness keeps her from reaching out, knowing the figure within the depths isn't human. Receiving aid from a siren is a fate worse than death, and that is one route in life she absolutely refuses to take.

The petite coastal town of Nuxlin barely reaches a population into the thousands.
Due to the passing of her parents, Nerissa Brinton returns for the summer, determined to sell the now empty family home. A string of accidental drownings with the potential of being the work of a serial killer, however, leaves the town in turmoil.

When the humans poison her kind with a new deadly weapon after years of not attacking, it costs Aelila one of her own and her mother's impending wrath. The Siren Queen sends her daughter on land to carry out her revenge: to kill the human King once and for all. Aelila then finds herself sent into the midst of the human royal court to fulfill her mother's biding, but there's one problem. Aelila can't kill, and she doesn't want to become the monster the deed would make her.
