Serena wakes up in a glass tank at an underground auction, stripped of her memory and sold as a rare mermaid. Just when she believes no one is coming for her, Riven, the feared Black Dragon King, storms in and claims she is his queen. But Serena remembers only one thing: his face, and the belief that he once destroyed her. As Riven tries to protect her, Serena is pulled into a dangerous web of stolen memories, royal betrayal, and a sea princess determined to take everything that belongs to her. With every lost scale she recovers, Serena comes closer to the truth: she was never weak, never broken, and never meant to belong to anyone. To reclaim her crown, she must face the enemies who erased her past—and decide whether the dragon she hates is actually the only one who never stopped loving her.
