A woman believes she has captured an ancient merman and holds him as her prisoner, only to discover that he may be the one being who can truly understand her. As their strange bond deepens, she must decide whether he is a captive she can control or the only one she can trust. The line between captor and companion blurs as an ancient power resurfaces in the modern world.
Damn it. It's a Force Nine storm. Captain, we've already crossed into the Forbidden Sea! If we keep going, we're all gonna die! There's something under the water.
They're singing. It's so beautiful. Turn this ship around! Right now! Or we're all gonna end up as fish food!
Shut the hell up, all of you! Read what the book says. The storms in the Forbidden Sea can only be quelled by a siren. You all signed the contract before we set sail.
Every single one of you knew the price. Some of you want to uncover the truth behind the wreath vessel that sank ten years ago. Some of you are just here for a bounty big enough to feed your families for three Well, we're in the Forbidden Sea now.
If we turn back, the wreaths will follow us straight to shore. None of your families will survive. We find the Siren, and everyone's payout doubles. Turn back and wait to die, or take a gamble with me.
Find the truth, and live to spend this money. You choose. I'm sick of it! I'm never going to be anything but your shadow, your little I'm leaving you!
