Daughters of the Deep

Every sailor knows the old superstition: never bring a woman aboard a ship.

But no one remembers how that superstition began.

When frightened crews cast women into the sea to appease storms and satisfy their fears, the ocean answered. Bound, drowning, and abandoned, the condemned women did not die. The depths changed them. Their legs fused, their lungs adapted, and their grief became something far darker.

Now they are mermaids.

For centuries, the Daughters of the Deep have hidden beneath the waves, luring sailors to watery graves in revenge for the crimes committed against them. Their songs are beautiful. Their hatred is endless.

When young sailor Cassian survives an encounter with one of these deadly creatures, he becomes entangled in a conflict older than any kingdom. As whispers of war spread across the sea, both sailors and mermaids must decide whether the cycle of vengeance can ever be broken-or whether the ocean will claim them all.

In a world of storms, shipwrecks, ancient secrets, and creatures born from sorrow, the sea remembers every wrong.

And it is ready to collect its debt.
