In the heart of the stormy sea, where legends and reality intertwine, lies the hidden city of Neropolis-a breathtaking underwater realm ruled by the enigmatic and powerful merman, Galenos. Known for his deep-seated aversion to humans, Galenos has long guarded his domain with an iron will, ensuring no mortal ever disturbs his sacred kingdom.
Elara, an adventurous and spirited 18-year-old explorer, dreams of uncovering the secrets of the world. Her quest for discovery takes a perilous turn when a violent storm devastates her ship, leaving her at the mercy of the sea. As the tempest's fury claims her vessel, Elara is cast into the depths, her life hanging by a thread.
Fate intertwines their destinies when Galenos, drawn by an unusual curiosity, discovers Elara's battered body drifting on the edge of his realm. Despite his long-held belief that humans are nothing but trouble, he is inexplicably captivated by her beauty and the will to survive that glimmers through her wounds.
Unable to resist the pull of his own emotions, Galenos decides to intervene, taking Elara to his city and keeping her captive until she heals. As she recovers, their worlds collide in unexpected ways. Elara's resilience and spirit challenge Galenos's long-standing prejudices, revealing the humanity he had long denied. In turn, Galenos's hidden depths and the mysteries of Neropolis begin to unravel before Elara's eyes.

As Elara and Galenos navigate their contrasting worlds and the growing connection between them, they must confront their own fears and prejudices. Set against a backdrop of breathtaking underwater beauty and ancient myth, their journey explores the essence of courage and the magic of unexpected bonds.
