One of every ten children is born with a mark on their shoulder. Those with this mark are treated as kings, and given anything and everything they could want in life. That is, until the year of their 18th birthday, when all those who have reached this age of maturity are gathered together by the government and flocked to the capital of religion, Galen. Those marked are never heard of again.
This story follows the tale of Lorelei, a marked Nereid born of the ocean banished to land. Her past in complicated, her future even more so.
