Blind since childhood, Syrena longs for the seeing world. When she finds it, the experience is most unexpected, for her eyes and heart take her deep into the blue when a merman, the last of his kind, saves her from drowning. Although she can't remember, it isn't the first time.
Dagon rescued Syrena once before. She was a child then, and he has watched her at the shore ever since. He loves her, yet his evil imposter parents have forbidden contact with Syrena. Desire for his soul mate has Dagon troubled and he needs to find a way for them to be together without endangering her.
With Syrena's passion growing for Dagon, along with the gift to see, she wonders if she can make a choice that would mean walking away from her beloved sisters and life on land, also remain in hiding from Dagon's parents who are copious in casting curses. How strong is love? More than the tug of the oceans?
