His crew feared the crunch of his boots on the deck, the sharp lash of his voice, the unblinking gray eyes that missed nothing. Power was his compass, authority his anchor. He stole, seized, conquered—because no one alive could stop him. - One moon-drenched night, as his ship carved through silver waves, Darius sat on the edge of the ship staring at the ocean. A strange song floated across the water. Not soft—no, it was too fierce for softness—but haunting, bold, like a challenge sung on the edge of a dagger. Darius froze. Something in that melody pierced straight through his armor of cruelty. - From the sea rose a woman unlike any creature of myths he had heard. Dark shimmering scales, hair like flowing starlight, eyes bright as storm lightning. A mermaid—beautiful, dangerous, unafraid. She met his stare as if she had waited for it. She leaned in close to him. Darius felt his heart race.
