Echoes of Deadly Rules

Karen, a thousand-year-old siren prince, has been confined to the frigid deep-sea palace since birth, bound by his clan’s rigid precepts. Having witnessed the eternal torment of those who loved across species, he grows weary of the endless loneliness and restraint of the deep sea, rejects the arranged clan marriage, and yearns for the warm, vivid vitality of the human world. Lyla, a gifted young painter from Selkie Bay, can innately sense the deep sea’s emotions and holds no prejudice against sirens. Her parents vanished at sea years ago, leaving her with tangled love and hatred for the ocean. Her paintings carry gentle healing power and faint glimpses of the future. When an immortal siren tired of eternity meets a short-lived, resolute mortal, a forbidden love that defies species and ancient contracts quietly unfolds.
