A naiad faces two choices: Will you do what it takes to save your adopted mermaid daughter? Or, will you risk your life and the lives of others to satisfy your own selfish desires? Which will she choose?

Empress Renée has been told numerous times to lighten up. Her negativity and oppressive nature are effecting the health of Nadia, the only heir to the throne of the Five Oceans. She is finally informed that if she doesn't change her attitude by the time the rose bud on the key she is given has fully bloomed, Nadia will be sent some place where she can live a full and happy life. However, this key unlocks a wonder that Renée decides to take advantage of to end a personal problem she believes will solve everything... or does she really believe that?

Meanwhile, as a result of her last adventure, Rein Bow remains a wingless pixie. When she learns that the empress plans to seek out the Mystery Miracle Worker for help, she decides to tag along as this is who can give her wings again. Unfortunately, traveling with someone who flaunts a key that the most power-hungry of people desire provides Rein with a whole new set of obstacles.

Or will they both suffer at the hands of the many criminals after the key?
