Love beneath the Shore

Maris is a merman ruled by one dangerous impulse: curiosity. While the rest of the merfolk fear the secrets of the surface, Maris is constantly pushing the limits of the deep, much to the worry of his community. They know his intense curiosity could potentially lead to his death, but thank the water gods, nothing terrible has happened...yet.

The moment he turns eighteen, Maris is finally allowed to go to the human world and explore. He will live there, attend school, and be guided by the experienced Marina, a woman who understands both worlds.

As Maris navigates the complex, dazzling world above the waves, he finds himself at Seaside High, where he encounters Gelo Santiago Reyes.

Gelo is the quintessential golden boy: a talented swimmer, the undisputed campus crush, and a defining member of The Current. Gelo has an easy-going confidence, is friendly, and is deeply family-oriented. He is loved by many, and The Current, they are well known at Seaside High and every surrounding school, sets the standard for popularity.

As the two of them cross paths, we will witness a romantic story where loyalty, status, and a dangerous, ancient secret all swirl together.
