Five colossal monsters rose from the Ridge...leaving behind a sea of mermaid blood and a power that can raze cities.

​

Harboring this magical artifact is Pom, an ordinary 18-year old ocean guard. All she wants is a different life, one away from the monotony of the sea and its hellish monsters. But the life groomed by her vicious stepmother is not one that is easy to leave. 

 

On the mainland, ambitious scholar Lady Corey Kalan is searching for a power to balance the scales. She needs it before she’s married off as nothing more than a doll that produces an heir. When her knight crosses blades with Pom, she discovers this ordinary girl possesses what she’d spent years searching for: a monster soul.

 

When Pom saves Corey from a dastardly Ridge monster, Corey returns the favor; she invites Pom to the prince’s masquerade ball. For one night, Pom gets to trade her blade for dancing shoes–which all goes away at a drop of water. Unfortunately, a tsunami is heading her way, in the form of those targeting her and her forbidden power. Corey, her stepmother, and rebellious party crashers are among the waves.

 

Pom thought she’d left the hellish monsters behind her at sea. Until she set fin on land.
