Summary
John has grown up hearing tales about the ocean, and what lurks just beneath its surface. As a child, he had even dared to believe them. Yet that was a long time ago, and John's belief in faerie tales have long since faded since he joined the war. Real life has gotten in the way, and slowly, the memories of searching for tide-pools on the beach are replaced with his sister's alcoholism, war wounds, and his parent's constant fighting. However, when John Watson has to make a trip back to his Gradmother's cottage and return to the edge of the sea, he finds more than just the ocean awaiting for his return....
With a promise long forgotten, a rather demanding and compelling creature appears and demands its payment in full.
And John Watson finds he might not be able to resist its song after all....
