Ariel, daughter of Poseidon, successfully fooled the people of Atlantica, married herself a prince, and got everything she ever wanted. Until... the mystery of her sudden existence is questioned. Rumors spread like wildfire about her being a mermaid witch who gave herself legs, leaving Prince Eric no choice but to address the matter himself. In a test of truth, Ariel is cast into the ocean, yet never resurfaces (as far as the people know). Now expelled from one world and disowned by another she remains in shameful hiding. But as a cold war breaks out between land and sea, Ariel must find a way to fix a mistake made in foolish love before this cold war gets any warmer.
