A dark paranormal retelling of the classic fairy tale The Little Mermaid. My father is a daemon. My mother is a cambion. Humans are the enemy. All my life I've been locked away in a foreign world of darkness, hidden among the shadows, yearning for a reality I can never embrace. I'm a prisoner among my own kind. Every night at sunset, I sneak away as the last rays of the sun disappears over the horizon. A desperate attempt to find normalcy and acceptance in a forbidden world. Everything changes when I save the life of a handsome stranger. I'm not supposed to care. I'm not allowed to intervene. Human touch is forbidden. Rebelling against the rules, I take him home and care for his numerous wounds. Our meeting awakens intense and frightening feelings. A passion neither of us expects as it exposes my world to the human realm. Now the entire existence of my kind is threatened. I've opened Pandora's box and the Dresh are coming . . . *** First in a new series of twisted tales from old classics ***
