From the back cover

In the coastal town of Bayberry Cove, merfolk are bred like thoroughbreds, and a lonely landlady named Jo has inherited one: Caspian, a beautiful merman who despises her for her withered leg. He mocks her, smashes her mother's porcelain, and dreams of a wealthier owner, Mr. Blackwood.

When Caspian's cruelty finally drives her out into the rain, Jo wanders into the Abyssal Aquarium, where a scarred silver-white merman named Soren—marked defective stock—curls his tail gently around her and begs her to take him home. Unlike Caspian, he calls her Mistress without a sneer.

Jo begins to imagine trading in the old, bitter ghost in her house for something new. But Caspian will not simply leave, and his violet eyes are watching every coin she saves.
