The day I drowned began like any other. At least, until a silent boy with claws and gills pulled me from the sea. Lorn is from a world beneath the waves, completely unlike my elven home, but the shoreline becomes our shared domain. Trinket boxes and buried treasure take the place of shared language, as secret as our forbidden friendship, and just as precious. The years roll by as steadily as the tide, until the day my marriage is arranged to a stranger. A high-born elf of wealth and status, everything I’m meant to want . . . but I’m in love with my best friend, the man from beneath the waves. Now I must choose—surrender to the life chosen for me? Or risk all I know for a love that feels as deep as the sea itself?
