[Urban fantasy retelling of 'The Little Mermaid' fairytale]

In a supernatural New York City pulsing with neon magic and enspelled beats, party girl siren Regina Vuong works in singing and ghostwriting for local DJs. Her enchanting vocals draw in crowds for all-night raves, like luring sailors to the seas. Her partner-in-crime is Zihan Gu, an undead vampire DJ who feeds off the energy of his shows.

When they land a coveted invitation to an Abyss Records party and an audience with its elusive executive Cordelia Vayne, the ascent to stardom seems inevitable. With a Midas touch for turning unknowns into legends overnight, Cordelia promises everything: fame, immortality, wealth. All she wants in return is Regina's voice.

But something monstrous lurks beneath the depths. Even the strobing lights on the dance stage cannot chase away the shadows creeping ever closer. Up-and-common artists begin to vanish. Corpses turn up at venues drained and hollowed with dark residual magic. Navigating magical crime scenes and cursed soundtracks, Regina must uncover the truth before she becomes the next body on the dance floor.
