From the back cover

To save her people, Lira seeks help from Caspian, her childhood friend and now a famous scientist. He still wants her, keeping her in his bed for seven days before pouring acid over her, blaming her kind for the disappearance of his parents. For two years he marries another woman, Rosalind, yet keeps Lira chained, cutting out her Coral Core to heal his wife and feeding her Lira's flesh.

Caspian's assistant Marcus and the household maids treat Lira as a monster, while Caspian demands she heal Rosalind's slightest ailments and tortures her in his laboratory for the truth about his parents. Lira stays silent, though a mermaid who remains on land for three years dies, and she has only three days left.

As her old wounds reopen and her body fails, Caspian refuses to let her die, chaining her like a dog. Lira holds a secret she cannot tell him, and her time is running out.
