Beyond the shallows

Can she learn to look beyond the shallows?

When English beauty and avid poetry lover Ophelia is holidaying with her two sisters in 19th century Blackpool, she finds herself unmistakably called to the water. Then, accidentally toppling from the railing of Blackpool's Victoria Pier, Ophelia unknowingly tumbles into the path of Dagon, a creature cursed by Poseidon for centuries with disfigurement and loneliness for his crimes against the goddess Atargatis.

Will Ophelia flee in horror at what lies beneath the waves, or can she learn to look beyond the shallows of one of the sea's most unsightly secrets?

This story is a short prequel to The Queens Of Fantasy Saga, but can be read as a standalone with no prior reading required.
