In the enchanted underwater City of Glass, what will you sacrifice for immortality? Love, memories, freedom? Will you take freedom from others to win your heart's desire? Dive into a world of mermaids, mermen, and other merfolk, where every character has secrets, and nothing is what it seems!
The whales have granted the merfolk eternal life, and asked you for so little in return. Defense against the giant squid. Secrecy from humans. But when a rogue mermaid tries to destroy the gift of immortality, ancient secrets rise from the depths, and the delicate balance of society rests in your hands.

"The whales mentioned a squid attack," you say. "They're calling for your help."


Estre curses. "Of course. The gall of their timing. I wonder if they saw Cinza's return and knew it was a vulnerable time to strike."


"We're obligated to go and help the whales," says Arraia, "but that can wait a bit."


Estre avoids eye contact. "We came here specifically to get you," he says. He flips around and grabs Arraia's hand, motioning for you to follow as he starts the swim back to the depths.


Arraia looks back to check that you're following. "Tephra brought back more than the Orb," she says, "more than Cinza. She brought back…" She trails off, focusing on the path straight ahead.


Really? Ha! That paragon of self-control Tephra must've fallen for a human, brought it back. And now Estre and Arraia are here because, well, you did pretty much the same thing. And that kind of makes you the resident expert on integrating humans.
