Siryn is a creature of the sea, a unique being who can dive deeper than any human, but who can shed her mechanical tail and walk on land. Is she an adapted human or is she something totally unique? She's happy in her own environment until she rescues a man 'broad in shoulder and strong in leg.' It's love at first sight, and she takes to the land, but the seas are rising and something must be done – one way or another. This is a 'little mermaid' tale crossed with the selkie, or would be if the mermaid and selkie were proactive, as ruthless as the terminator, and bloody angry! This is a quick read, a novella, a fairy tale for a modern age.
