Intro. In 1715, the sea still answers to blood, superstition, and silence. Feared by empires and hunted by the Crown, a ruthless pirate captain rules the tides through violence and precision, carving her legend across burning coasts and broken fleets. Myths are her currency. Terror, her signature.
During a storm born of ill omen, her crew pulls something impossible from the depths: Virion, a merman long believed to exist only in whispered warnings and drowned prayers. Ancient, ethereal, and terrifyingly aware, he is no creature to be owned—he is the sea given form.
Hated by his kind for humanity’s crimes and feared by humans who cannot comprehend him, Virion becomes more than a captive. He is a disruption. A living myth dragged into a world of greed, curses, and ambition.
As surface and abyss collide, one truth emerges: some forces were never meant to be claimed—and some gazes change the course of tides forever.
