After being secretly injected with a rogue strain of Compound V, Y/N awakens in The Woods, a decommissioned underground facility hidden beneath Godolkin University. The walls are plastered with forest images. the cells are like cells. without woods etc.
In a world of unforgiving seas and cutthroat sailors, Y/N is an anomaly, a siren born without a tail. Lacking the grace of her ocean-bound kin and unable to swim with siren pods, she was forced into hiding. Worse, she never learned to control her siren song; to her, singing is pure, deadly instinct that forces any listening human into an inescapable, drowning trance. While hiding in the flooded hold of the infamous galleon The Bloodwake, Y/N is discovered by a young sailor. Panicking, she tries to soothe him with a soft melody, only to accidentally send him plunging off the plank to his death. Caught red-handed, the furious crew demands her execution. But the vesselās cold, calculating captain, Malakor Vance, steps in. Seeing a volatile, lethal weapon rather than just a monster, Vance locks Y/N in his private cabin. He straps a thick leather muzzle over her mouth to silence her voice and binds her in heavy iron chains to his oak desk, shielding her from a mutinous crew that hungers for her blood.
Love is the trigger. Trust is the trap. Cursed by their devout town for a forbidden bond, Y/N and Jonah are hunted by a creature that takes the exact shape of the person they love most.
