Nereida, known as 'Niri,' is a young mermaid who has always believed that humans were the enemy and the main cause of her people's suffering. No matter what happened, all their issues stemmed from when the world was separated by the god Poseidon– forming the 'above' and 'below'. In their anger and for their survival, the mermaids went into hiding, refusing to interact with the world of man above the waves.
Niri has always felt that she was shackled by duty, and for her love of her people, she wore those shackles with grace but longed for more. Her curiosity could never be stifled, and after losing her best friend, she knew things were no longer safe for mermaids. Her suspicions become confirmed when rebels shatter her world, thrusting her into a new unforeseen journey, becoming captured by Captain Samuel 'Silver Tongue' Shelley and his band of pirates. Stripped of her mermaid form, Niri delves into the human world, forging unlikely bonds and unearthing ancient secrets about the mythical island of Ashera.
Navigating a path fraught with tension, friendship, and self-discovery, Niri's perceptions of love, duty, and desire are all tested. Betrayals and mutinies propel her into heated battles stemming from ancient rivalries. Armed with limited history and the pirates' support, Niri faces the ultimate challenge: to save her people.
"Ocean's Temptation" is a captivating tale weaving love, sacrifice, and destiny that bridges realms in an unforgettable adventure.
