Atlantica isn't the pristine fun city of merpeople everyone thinks it is. It's a dangerous city, full of crime. It's so bad, the sea king has to stay there and reduce the crime rate and make the city a safer place. But it'd going to take a long time. Dylan Hurley grew up in that city and was abused by his parents, badly, to the point where he's afraid to speak. His parents kicked him out of their home and told him to never return. He swims away to his only option: Land. He meets and befriends a boy his age named Ace Justice, who is also a mer. Only a mysterious letter from the sea king brings the two reluctant merboys back to the sea. And Dylan learns that he isn't who he thinks he is, but something more powerful and important to the seas. If you want to find out more, you gotta read this.
