Serena once had it all. Princess of her school, beloved by all, and the object of lots and lots of crushes. After her mother's death by drowning, though, Serena lost her ability to shine. One day, on an Empty Beach, she almost joins her mother. A handsome and charismatic swimmer named Morten saves her and then disappears into the ocean. Desperate to see him again, Serena walks that lonely beach day after day having no hope.

Enter Ridley. Ridley is a mysterious young man who can't speak, but he looks so much like Morten! But how could he be? He can't sing that amazing song that made Serena weak at the knees.

As she tumbles into love, she can't give her heart to the mundane, where just beyond the ocean lies her true love.

But danger follows that path, and a secret about Ridley threatens to end her life.

This is a fairy tale retelling of The Little Mermaid, set in a modern day world full of excitement, danger, and a love that surpasses death.
