Young merman Hadron seeks adventure and sets out to find it. After a storm leaves him washed upon the desolate beach of an uninhabitable island, he devises a plan that will bring him more than just adventure. He travels to the kingdom of Baga where he sees a mermaid princess--but only from afar. A commoner cannot get close to the royal maids. His heart is set on her.Using his wit, he manages to speak to the king about the desolate isle. The king laughs at him but gives him an impossible task to win the useless bit of land called Jellyfish Spit. Hadron takes the challenge and wins the island. He proclaims himself the Prince of Jellyfish Spit. Hadron returns to Jellyfish Spit and works hard to change the island. He prepares the place to be a home for merfolk and other sea creatures. When the island is ready, Hadron returns to Baga where, as a prince, he can meet the mermaid princesses. He has loved Princess Silvermist from afar, but can he win her heart when he meets her?This is a story of a goal, and how, with determination, hard work, and intelligence anyone, including a merman, can achieve greatness-and maybe love.
