    Summary

    “Listen to me,” the monster says again, words careful, slow, and dangerous. “You have ten seconds to get out of here before I claw you to death. And tell no one about it, or so help me I will make you regret it.”

    Pearl, logically, should be terrified of this statement. But somewhere in the monster’s deep eyes, she can see a flash of emotion. Pearl might very well be going insane, but she swears she sees it—this isn’t the thoughtless, heartless beast that she’s been told about. This is someone like her. This is someone who maybe doesn’t want to kill if she doesn’t have to.

    “No,” Pearl says before her head catches up to her mouth.

    or;

    Pearl, the daughter of Undertow's late powerful fisherman, has always been darkly captivated by the idea of the monsters old fishermen warn about. When she encounters one, it decides to spare her life in an exchange that leaves them tied together, ultimately forcing Pearl outside of what was once her home and into a world she never could have imagined-one she has to help save.
