Creatures of the Deep Anastasia Monich

Hailing from the small and secluded fishing village of Amanzi on the outskirts of the Great Asygarth empire, the young and inquisitive Lyra Fisher is determined to follow her village's expectations and become a dutiful wife. But little does she know of the adversities to befall her. As her last breath rises towards the glassy surface of the frigid water; she sinks towards the unforgiving sea floor, slowly losing sight of a future - and her life. Emotion was as foreign to him as the human girl he had saved. Yet somehow, Rivule had managed to muster enough pity to save this girl despite his unsentimental and logical nature. Soon he finds himself to be part of an unusual friendship, one that pokes at the cracks of his stoic and apathetic shell. It is a friendship that is determined to evolve into emotions unbeknownst to him. However, uncertainty looms ahead as one important fact serves as the gatekeeper to their future, and even their very lives. Rivule... is a mer.
