Marina sacrifices her oceanic immortality, splitting her fin into human limbs under a mortal deadline that turns her to sea foam unless she earns true love’s kiss. On day twenty-seven, she discovers Damien shamelessly kissing a shallow socialite, having bestowed Marina's sacred soul-scale and treasured heart-pearl upon the woman as gaudy jewelry.
Refusing to dissolve in sorrow, Marina decides to reclaim everything she foolishly gave away. Crashing his glamorous gala, she strips the traitors of their stolen ocean artifacts and takes back the vitality keeping Damien alive, finding unexpected devotion in the quiet mute friend who crossed continents to bring her home.
