The Night the Sea Kept Me

VAELIS
I didn't believe in monsters until I felt the pressure of the ocean pulling me under. Kael saved me, but his mercy comes with a price I’m not sure I can pay. He is otherworldly, lethal, and the only reason I’m still breathing. Now, I’m caught in a war I don't understand, fighting for survival alongside a creature who views me as a treasure he’s willing to kill for. I came here a pampered Royal Prince, and now I’m falling in love with the monster they taught me to fear.

KAEL
My world is bound by iron laws: the surface is ruin, and humans are poison. Yet, when I saw Vaelis sinking into my domain, my instincts betrayed me. I broke the most sacred rule of the deep to claim him, and now the ocean itself cries out for my defiance. They want him back, or they want us both destroyed. Let them come. I have survived the dark for centuries, but I will tear the foundations of the Abyss to ash before I let them take him from me.
