  Summary

  When Caspian, prince of an underwater kingdom, fell in love with another prince, he thought he understood the risks. The worst case scenario was death, and he could live with that, as long as they faced it together.

  He never imagined betrayal.

  Trapped in a web of lies and magic he can’t untangle, Caspian made a desperate escape through the ocean’s surface only to discover a world that shouldn't exist. On land, everything is wrong: the air burns his lungs, his tail transforms into legs, and the strangers who offer him shelter guard secrets as dangerous as the ones he left behind.

  To survive, Caspian must learn to navigate this alien world and confront truths about himself, magic, and the past he thought he'd escaped.
