Summary
When Shi Yu’s father brings home Siren, a beautiful experimental merman terrified of blood, she immediately decides the creature belongs to her instead. She cuts the power, steals him into her bedroom, and feeds him a drug that may grant him human legs. But Siren’s tears become pearls, his innocence is dangerously persuasive, and the underwater laboratory that created him warns Shi Yu that his previous keepers did not survive. As father and daughter turn possession into war, Shi Yu must discover whether she is hunting a helpless merman—or stepping willingly into a far older predator’s trap.
