Romada, a fiercely independent water nymph who captains the pirate vessel the Guardian,
is looking forward to retirement. After sailing the seas for over 50
years with her siren girlfriend, Neiara, as well as with her adoptive
big brother, Injago, for the five decades prior, she's tired of the
high-stakes life. Unfortunately, the high-stakes life isn't done with
her or her loved ones yet.
When the crown prince of Ostrana is
assassinated by a siren, the elven kingdom responds by rounding up every
known siren and shipping them off to internment camps. Soon after,
Injago and Romada mistakenly lead Neiara into a trap that tears her away
from them, and Romada succumbs to a depressive darkness that has
threatened her mind since childhood. It's up to Injago to keep the crew
and the ship safe and steady on the path to finding and rescuing Neiara.
As
time goes on, Romada and Injago realize that no one else is willing to
find and liberate these camps. They have a choice to make. They can
attempt to free all sirens of their wrongful imprisonment, or abandon
these lost souls in reckless pursuit of their stolen family member. Only
one thing is certain: this won't have a happy ending.
