A Lowblood Merman's Obsession

After eighteen years lost, Sera returns home to find her place already taken by a foster sister. Her parents give her Aldric—a beautiful Highblood merman—as a consolation gift, but he only ever warms to Mira. Lonely and hollow, Sera buys a broken Lowblood merman named Calder from a street peddler. He is scarred, starved, and flinches at her touch. But Calder tries. And when Aldric's coldness and mounting stress push Sera to the edge, Calder's quiet presence becomes the only relief she needs. Two mermen. Two kinds of devotion. One choice that changes everything.
