For as long as there have been men, there have been myths. And as long as there have been myths, there have been dreamers. Dreamers who wonder what else is out there.
Nerina Winters is no different. She lives a fantasy life as a mermaid, putting on daily shows at the aquarium. Until one day, she finds herself sitting in the doctor's office. The revelation of what's ailing her reveals a family secret she isn't supposed to know about until her thirtieth birthday.
But it's too late. The secret is out. Now she's on the run with a husband she no longer trusts, who harbors a secret of his own. Her husband quickly learns that secrets are perilous by nature.
Some swear by them.
Some die from them.
But who will live, and who will die?
And will they live long enough to find out?
