Synopsis

The Anemone Merfolk don’t keep histories. If it doesn’t affect today or tomorrow, then it doesn’t matter. Life doesn’t change from one day to the next, or from one generation to the next. They don’t know where they come from, and they have no aspirations for the future. The only things that matter are today and tomorrow.
One young mermaid isn’t satisfied with that life. She has dreams of exploring the world and learning about where they came from. She yearns to find a greater purpose. She’s desperate for a better future.
The Anemone Merfolk aren’t the only ones in the sea.
And this young mermaid isn’t the only one searching for the truths forgotten in the histories.
But what if her clan was right? What if, in knowing nothing, life is most delightful?
