“Some memories fade. Not all of them. You have people here to share your stories with. If you want to tell me things about your old life, I’ll listen. If you forget… I’ll try to remember for you.”
“The new name? Letting go, transforming, all the things everyone told me I needed to do to survive here doesn’t match what I’m seeing, what you just said. How can we have a full life as a Mer if half of our lives are still up there, back in the past when we were human?” I pointed heavenward, back to the surface as if thousands of gallons of water weren’t separating the two pieces of my existence.
Val's life as a Mer has moments of peace, intertwined with moments of darkness. There's something beneath the surface of this happy existence that doesn't add up, and she has her suspicions about what, or who might be upsetting the delicate balance of her new world. As she tries to investigate, holding onto her determined "human" attitude becomes more difficult when affairs of the heart begin to cast shadows and muddy the waters. Will Val be able to find her balance and navigate this darkness, or is she slowly falling into something even more dangerous?
