Summary
Michael Afton was only five years old when his world changed forever. Born from the love between William Afton and Roselle, an enigmatic woman with ocean blood, Michael inherited a secret: he is a merman. His mother taught him to love the water, to respect its power... but also warned him of the danger of revealing it.
Everything falls apart when William returns from one of his extended business trips with heartbreaking news: he has a mistress, is pregnant, and wants a divorce. Roselle, devastated, commits suicide. Michael is torn from his home and taken to another country, to a new life with his cold stepmother, two curious stepbrothers, and an emotionally absent father.
At just five years old, Michael is forced to hide his true nature. A simple drop of water can trigger his transformation in just ten seconds. His gills, his sea-like tail, his connection to the ocean... everything must be kept secret.
But the power of the sea is not so easily contained. Michael's emotions—anger, sadness, fear—threaten to overwhelm his abilities, and he's already lost control more times than he cares to count.
