The ocean does not forget.
It waits.
It warns.
Beneath the surface of the world, far deeper than human eyes have ever reached, lies Meroa - a kingdom of crowns, bloodlines, forbidden laws, and secrets buried beneath black water.
Princess Zahara Selah Amari was born beneath a falling sky, marked by stars and whispered about in rooms she was never meant to enter. To her kingdom, she is royal. Beautiful. Protected. A daughter of one of the most powerful bloodlines in the deep.
But Zahara has always felt the ocean calling her toward places she is forbidden to go.
Above the Sunline, danger waits.
Beyond the borders of Meroa, sirens are said to hunt with pretty faces and blood in their teeth.
And in the dark waters surrounding the Black Reefs, something ancient is watching.
When Zahara begins to question the laws that have shaped her life, she finds herself pulled into a truth older than the throne, darker than the trenches, and more dangerous than any story she was raised to believe.
Because some secrets do not stay buried.
Some warnings are born.
And Zahara may not be the girl destined to save the ocean.
She may be the one it warned everyone about.
