Liya, a lonely fishergirl, rescues a wounded little merman from the rocks—unaware he is Kael, the missing prince of the sea. His tears turn to pearls, his scales grant long life, and a greedy village will burn everything to claim them. To stay by her side, Kael takes human form and pretends to have lost his memory, but the truth is ripped open. Hunted and cornered, he sacrifices his power to stop a tsunami, forgetting her completely. Now Liya sails every tide, vowing to find the merman prince who became her husband.
