Marina Vale, a quiet artist haunted by recurring dreams of the ocean, begins to experience strange transformations: her skin glows faintly under water, her lungs tighten in the air, and her heartbeat echoes like distant waves. Drawn to the coast of a small seaside town, she meets Adrian Korrin, a marine biologist investigating a mysterious bloom of bioluminescent algae.
Their attraction is instant — primal and haunting. As they fall deeper into each other, Marina’s body changes further, her memories of a past life under the waves returning in flashes. Adrian realizes she is connected to the same ancient legend he’s devoted his life to studying: the Princess of the Deep, a mermaid who once fell in love with a human and cursed both worlds.
But love defies reason. Marina must decide whether to surrender to the sea and reclaim her power — or cling to her fleeting human life and the man who loves her. Each tide brings her closer to a choice that will cost one world its salvation.
