Broken Waves

Lyra, a young mermaid with a shimmering violet-blue tail and piercing light blue eyes, is torn from the depths of the ocean and thrown into a world of cold steel and glass. Captured by ruthless hunters, she is delivered to the estate of Daniel O'Connor, a reclusive millionaire infamous for his obsession with studying and experimenting on mysterious creatures.

But within the walls of his fortress-like laboratory, not everyone shares his cruelty. Bodi O'Connor, his son, is different. Unlike his father, he has no hunger for power-only curiosity. From the moment he lays eyes on Lyra, something inside him stirs. She is not just a specimen. She is someone.

As Lyra struggles to break free from the chains that bind her, she and Bodi form an unlikely bond. But time is running out-Daniel's experiments are becoming more invasive, and Lyra's strength is fading. With danger closing in, Bodi must make an impossible choice: betray his father and risk everything to help Lyra escape, or stand by as she is torn apart in the name of science.

But even if she escapes, will Lyra ever trust a human again? And can Bodi prove that not all of them are monsters?
