The Mermaid Is Done Crying

The Story

Nerissa sheds her tail and walks in agony, only to be stabbed and see her clan slaughtered. Reborn at the choosing ceremony, she rejects her arrogant ex’s expectation of a plea. Instead, she claims Alaric, the region’s most feared warlord. He dismisses her action as a trick, while a fake girl steals her credit. Yet Nerissa has awakened and stands ready for what comes next.
