Jade has spent her life hiding what she is-a shape-shifting hybrid of human and an ancient oceanic race. Her chameleon-like abilities let her vanish in plain sight, but when she meets Rafe, a magnetic rogue with a dangerous secret of his own, her carefully built walls crumble.

Rafe doesn't know he's half-alien, let alone that his blood holds the key to a war raging beneath the waves. When his emotions ignite, his skin erupts in bioluminescent light shows-a trait that terrifies him... and captivates Jade.

Their connection is instant, electric, and deadly. As the human world hunts their kind for sport and alien factions harvest humans for cruel experiments, Jade and Rafe must navigate:

• A forbidden romance that could get them killed
• A hidden underwater empire of bioluminescent cities and warring dynasties
• A vengeful ex trafficking hybrids for a forbidden breeding program
• A power buried in Rafe's blood that could save-or doom-them all

When Jade is kidnapped by a serpentine warlord, Rafe's desperate rescue mission reveals a truth neither could imagine: their bond isn't accidental. It's fate.

And the ocean isn't just their home.
It's a weapon.
