Description
I have never felt this way before. I have never wanted to protect and care for someone so much before. It feels unnatural, too human-like. And yet, I still feel it. I still want to be with him and bask in his kindness. To stare into his warm, hazel eyes as he stares into mine. I feel a fluttering in my chest, and my gills palpitate with excitement. My aching ribs tingle from much more than just overwork, but from something else. An emotion I once mocked, a feeling I ceased to believe in. I thought my monster form would never love, never admire. I thought I was as cold as the winter sea, as bleak as the dying reefs. Yet this evening, a summer's night, I fell in love. ༄⋆.˚⋆｡˙༄.° In a mischievous world where the ocean's depths hold secrets darker than the depths themselves, Kailani Sunn finds herself at the heart of a storm she never thought existed. Raised by her father in a quaint townhouse with his busy surf shop just down the stairs, Kai has always felt the call of the ocean. Its mysteries beckon her, especially after a series of inexplicable accidents that occur at sea. But when a tragic boating accident off the Californian coast leaves her as the sole survivor, unscathed yet forever changed, she unravels the chilling truth of her father's dark past and the malevolent forces that lurk beneath the waves. As Kai navigates a realm woven with false truths and bitter deceptions, she finds herself ensnared by an evil queen determined to harness her newfound gifts for sinister ends. With the lives of those she loves at risk and her trust being toyed with by an irresistible prince, Kai must confront her destiny at risk of grievous betrayal and drowning her world in darkness. ༄⋆.˚⋆｡˙༄.°
