In order to leave her old life behind on the isle, Averie is trying to buy herself passage to Scotland. Her plan relies on trapping a mystical sea horse sent by Manannán known as the Kelpie. But little does she know, nothing is ever what it seems on the surface and secrets are only revealed underneath the waves.
Altaera is struggling between two mindsets: to belong to herself or to her people that follow the path of Ipseity. By becoming an assassin and harnessing this way of life, it only yields the outcome of servitude to their Gods. But amidst this challenge, she must face the clarity that love brings. Will this reveal her pure self or only drown her until she is even further from the truth?
