Hooked | What if The Sea Witch Won?

A sailor's love is the sea...
There was a time when Eric was a prince of Summer's Court. Now he is Captain Hook, a pirate king ruling a kingdom built from sea-soaked oak, black sails, and men with nowhere else to belong.

When a mermaid wanted to be part of his world, she gave up everything.

The contract was signed. She got her legs, but she had to swim across the ocean without a tail. It took more than three sunsets.

There was no wedding. No happily ever after.

Her voice was never returned.

Now the Sea Witch has everything.

But she did not take the mermaid.

For one hundred years, she has made a life beneath the waves. She has friends, adventures, and an entire language that requires no voice at all. A dolphin who happily encourages her worst ideas. An octopus who should probably know better.

And once every full moon, she gets one night on land.

She explores.

She dances.

She causes considerably more trouble than a silent mermaid should be capable of.

And wherever fate carries her, eventually she finds him.

Captain Hook.

For one hundred years, Hook has hunted the creature who drowned his world. Despite the title pirate, he steals only from monsters.

Women breathe his name like a prayer. Those with darker souls refuse to speak it at all.

His favorite prey is Tinker Bell.

Every child she steals becomes another name he returns home.

Every ship she builds eventually joins the ocean floor.

And always, somewhere nearby, is his silent guardian.

A mermaid with hair the color of a sailor's warning who never speaks and never lingers.

He forgets the names of every tavern girl who shares his bed.

But somewhere beneath the waves waits the only name he has searched for...

for one hundred years.

And he has no idea why.
