Skyla, a half-elf beast tamer cursed with the Frost Syndrome, is ordered by Saintess Seraphine to imprison and tame the merman prince. Though they stand on opposite sides, the two gradually fall in love during their time together. The merman prince is born with contrasting dual personalities—the gentle, loyal Lucien and the cold Dorian—and both souls are drawn to Skyla. To protect his life, she forces herself to stage a cruel betrayal, plunging him into a hell of love and hate. After his return, his dual personalities and Skyla are locked in an intense emotional tug-of-war, tangled in love and hatred. Wounded, they embrace and redeem each other, break the shackles of fate, overthrow the tyranny of the Holy Court, and ultimately find a complete and lasting union.
