    About this ebook

    When a mermaid falls in love, it is a dangerous thing. It can control them. That is why the little mermaid has gone to the creature that hides in the dark, the most dangerous being in the sea, the one only her family know the truth about. This creature can give her the power to walk on the land, but at what price?
