A lost mermaid. A human fisherman. A forbidden love.

When a terrible storm washes a mysterious girl onto the shore, she can’t remember where she came from or anything about herself, except her name: Cordelia.

A young fisherman named Tobias takes her in and helps her build a new life. As the days turn into weeks, Cordelia begins to fit comfortably into Tobias’s life. But then Cordelia’s memories return and ruin everything. She discovers that she’s a mermaid who was cursed to live on land by an evil witch trying to take her title: the new Queen of the ocean.

Forced to leave Tobias behind, she returns to her underwater kingdom. However, the ocean no longer feels like home. She feels more lost than ever.

She shouldn’t go back to Tobias — their love is forbidden and he hates mermaids — but determined to follow her heart, Cordelia goes back to land to tell Tobias the truth: that she loves him and that she’ll do whatever it takes to be with him.

Will Tobias forgive the past and choose love over his anger? Will Cordelia find where she truly belongs or will she never get her happily ever after?
