Dorian’s greatest ambition is to sail the open seas. His dreams have overtaken his days, yet the closer his ascension to the throne looms, the further into harbor his heart swims. When a hybrid sea creature is spotted, his father makes him an offer that is too tempting to refuse—one that could change the course of his destiny.

Beneath the waves, Zara’s underwater kingdom is choking on pollution, and her people are suffering. Despite the dire state of her home, Zara has refused to claim her rightful place on the council. After her family is destroyed by human encroachment, she vows to put an end to the devastation wrought by the two-legged monsters from above.

As fate would have it, Veshak—a feared privateer with a hidden agenda and a drawerful of secrets—intercepts both Dorian and Zara during their desperate quests. Spurred on by his own pursuit of justice, Veshak devises a plan that intertwines their fates, leaving the future of both the sea and land hanging in the balance as the three navigate treacherous waters and fragile alliances.
