Silence

Without legs, a mermaid can't run. Without a voice, she can't scream…

To escape her cruel father, the dreaded Mer-King, the mermaid Solana made a deal sealed in blood. Her voice for a pair of human legs. A life on the surface. Her freedom.

She danced in the sunshine for the first time. She fell in love with the handsome human prince. She married him…

And that's when everything went wrong.

Years later, Solana is his prisoner. Her voice is gone forever, and the prince likes it that way. With no voice, she can't protest, no matter what he does to her. With no voice, she can't scream.

But now the prince needs something from her.

And that means she has something she's never had before. She has power.
