She traded her tail for legs and a voice for silence. But even on land, the sea's song haunts her still.
Kailani has always yearned for more than the endless tides of the sea. Fascinated by the world of humans, she strikes a dangerous bargain to walk among them. With no voice and cast into a realm ruled by coin and secrets, she discovers that wonder comes hand in hand with hardship—and that love above the waves is no simple thing.
As she navigates bustling markets, ship decks, and stormy emotions, Kailani must cling to her identity in a world where she can't speak for herself. But the sea does not forget its daughters, and some songs cannot be silenced.
Told in two haunting halves, The Drowned Song is a darkly enchanting tale of mermaids, motherhood, and the power of reclaiming your voice—even if it means becoming something entirely new.
A standalone tale in the world of Tessagonia.
