How far is too far when it comes to sacrifice under the sea? Eighteen-year-old Jager and his older brother, Kriegen, are recent graduates from Selith Academy–an elite school for merfolk. The two work to help their community after tragedy befell their father, but when the Uplanders break a promise, the two mermen only have one goal–keep the kingdom safe at any cost. When the brothers are divided in their responses, they quickly learn that every choice has a consequence, and every action has a price.
