Beautiful cold and voiceless like a marble statue in her own home.Only her father thought differently. Only Moriahs father had ever asked her about her interests. He was the only one who ever gave her a choice until her visit to the human world. Like all mermaids Moriah is required to undergo her rite of passage on her 16th birthday to visit the human world. Its only when she meets the kind gentle Michael that she questions the cruelty and coldness of her reality.Longing for the freedom that she and her people have never known she must risk everything to bring about the revolution she desires. If Moriah is caught nothing will protect her from King Abaddons wrath not even her father who always obeyed her grandfathers every order.For her people. For her family. She will risk everything do anything to achieve her goals.Freedom like magic always comes at a price and she is willing to pay.
