A Little Mermaid retelling, the story maintains the concept of the mute and mermaid identity. Marina communicates with sign language - to the best of her abilities - until she rescues Dominic and gains an echoed voice when interacting magic with liquid, such as water. Marina assists Dominic with his mystery of disappearing ships while she believe Dominic - unknowingly - holds the truth behind her past. On top of this, Marina is dying and takes this opportunity to learn who she truly is before her time is up. The story starts slow, establishing the characters and setting, but gains a pace by the third-way mark. The writing style is also very young. The final quarter of the story consists of non-stop action to save both the sea and land world. The story is captivating. The book is darker than the original, including fatalities.
