Marked by the merman I once tamed

Skyla, a cursed half-elf beast tamer, is ordered to imprison and tame a merman prince. Despite opposing sides, they fall in love. He has dual personalities—gentle Lucien and cold Dorian—both drawn to her. To save his life, she stages a cruel betrayal. After his return, the three are locked in a tug-of-war of love and hate. Together, they break fate's shackles, overthrow the Holy Court, and find lasting union.
