Having been taken from her home as a child after her parents made a deal with the Sea Goddess out of fear, Ocevia Kallallis became one of Miris' enslaved mermaids, tasked with luring souls to the depths for the remainder of her life. It was a lonely existence, with only the screams of her nightmares keeping her company. Until she met Azure Galanides, that is.


After living her first eighteen years as a human, Azure was forced to make a deal with the Sea Goddess when her little sister drowned, trading her life for the child's. A stubborn nature, and a burning desire to return to her former life, made Azure's transformation into a cursed mermaid something she couldn't help but fight against, even if it meant beatings. Ocevia never broke the rules, however, as her fear of the whip always kept her in check.


The decision Azure makes to rescue a human man instead of sacrificing him to the sea forces Ocevia to break out of her monotonous life, becoming something she never imagined she would again, and discovering things she never knew were possible.
After years of never dreaming for something more, her longing for the forbidden grows ever stronger as she and her friend fight to escape Miris' reach.


Are Ocevia's dreams of freedom and love possible? Or will she spend her entire life as one of the cursed?
