For centuries, tales have told of merfolk haunting the seas, strange creatures teasing or helping sailors at their whim, occasionally having them for dinner. And not in a cordial sense. Alexis Silver was ahead of her time, a woman too smart to fit into society at the turn of the century. She gave up her dreams of higher education for love, marrying young, but her husband, and the life she wanted, perished in World War I soon after. Heartbroken and restless, she booked passage on a cruise along the West Coast in search of adventure, but adventure found her. The ship capsized, killing everyone on board, except for her. As she drifted far beneath the waves, inexplicably alive, the reason for her survival flashed by in a streak of silver... a merman. He had passed along the curse—or gift as Alexis sees it. A century later, she breaks up the monotony of immortality in the Pacific Northwest working as a private investigator. The long-dormant maternal instincts of her resident Dark Master kick in when a nice older couple hire her to find their missing son and his family. Her instincts tell her this isn't like her usual jilted-spouse cases. If she doesn't work fast, a little girl is going to die.

Alexis Silver has always defied convention: in the 1920s, she tried to attend college. She also prefers to live on land and she doesn’t really care for the taste of human flesh. Oh, by the way, she’s also a mermaid. A century of existence comes with a certain amount of boredom, but work as a private investigator in the Pacific Northwest offers a pleasant combination of access to the sea, intrigue, and helping others. When a well-to-do woman hires her to find her missing adventurer brother, Alexis feels like she’s landed straight in the middle of the sort of action movie they just don’t make anymore. The man’s trail leads all over the globe, but she suspects he’s not dead—yet. An international mining conglomerate evidently wants whatever the missing explorer has found, and they’re more than willing to kill anyone who gets in their way. Even mermaids detectives. .

Alexis Silver has worked as a private eye long enough to have many strange clients try to hire her... But the CIA is a first. And so is a desperate man searching for a missing vampire. People have secrets, mermaids more than most. When a CIA agent shows up claiming to know her biggest one, Alex finds herself at a disadvantage; however, the government only wants her help. Despite being beyond the cares of mortals, she still considers herself an American, and feels obligated to do what she can. Turns out, an Ohio-class nuclear submarine is about the worst place imaginable for a werewolf to have an existential crisis. Her mission is simple: stop the werewolf, save the United States. Meanwhile...disappearance cases are fairly routine for her, but a mortal man hiring her to find a missing vampire is a bizarre twist that piques her curiosity. And tracking down an off-the-grid undead is definitely one of her weirder cases. Luckily, weird is right up her alley.

Even immortal beings need to get away from it all. Mermaid Alexis Silver can tolerate only so many years living primarily on dry land before it’s time for a nice long swim. While she loves her work as a private investigator, a few nail-biter jobs in a row calls for some time off. And so, she leaves everything behind—literally—and dives into the ocean, planning to take a month off, cruising around Central America. What’s the point of vacationing without seeing new things? Soon after arriving in Panama, curiosity pulls her to shore. A not-so-chance meeting with a vampire thrusts her straight into the middle of otherworldly chaos. It’s a challenge working a case when all her possessions are thousands of miles away, but not having a phone, money, or a comfortable outfit is the least of her problems. Though she’s unable stop the dark masters’ plans entirely, she might be able to save one guy... That is, if he doesn’t kill her first.

True love can withstand distance and time...but can it survive immortality? Over her more than a century as a mermaid, Alexis Silver never really questioned how her first husband had such an effect on her despite the brief time they had together. She tried a few relationships with other immortals, though none lasted. She's content to be on her own, chasing the kind of adventures her mortal life would never have offered. Licinia, suspecting Alex isn’t over Albert, suggests they take a trip to the land once called Ptolemais. Curious to see what magical surprises her dark master friend has up her ethereal sleeves, Alex agrees. But not long after arriving in Cairo, they hit a snag. Licinia wants to conduct a ritual. But the only source of rare, magical components won't part with them unless the fate of his missing daughter is discovered. Alex soon realizes the woman's disappearance is far from ordinary. In fact, it's downright demonic.
