Born to the sea she was, a creature of myth and legend among sailors, said to be able to bring down an entire ship and turn it into a savage wreck- or to bring luck and fortune depending on how you treat her and her home. A mermaid, one of a colony and daughter to the matriarch, with a name like a song. A being such as her is not one to walk on land, however after a run in with a fisherman and an odd twist of fate, she is yanked from the sea and forced unto the land where she must adapt-- and quickly. Word has spread about the mermaid trapped on land and many are eager to take advantage of her displacement. But it is not a human who comes to her aide, a creature of the night, a predator to be feared. So why does she feel such a connection to him? The world is full of creatures humans have yet to truly discover. Outside of the ordinary lays a world hidden to the sensitive eyes of humans. She is a part of that world, though by now she is not quite sure she wants to be.

A story similar to a classic fairy tale, but with a major twist ... What if the little mermaid were a deep sea merman instead? And what if the human he fell in love with went to live with him in the sea instead? Though born as a regular human on land, Henrietta always felt as if she were suffocating. She struggled to survive and belong among her kind. On a night when she sought to end her life at sea, she was rescued by Elsen, a merman who had once felt the same as her. Despite coming from different worlds, their shared experiences instantly built a bridge between them. When misfortune struck again, Henrietta lost her home and was driven to the edge once more. Seeing that she had nowhere else to go, Elsen brought her to his home in the deep sea. Although the ocean depths were tranquil and soothing, Henrietta's heart was still plagued with worries. And she soon discovered that Elsen also had yet to defeat his own demons. Will these two broken souls finally heal and come to love not only each other but themselves as well?
