On August 23, a rare Black Moon rises with the sun.
Its flames are shadows, swallowing shimmer, silencing song.
The desert trembles.
The mermaids' light begins to fade.
But Queen Amalthea knows-
sometimes, gifts hide in the darkness.
One by one, the Soleya Mermaids step into the shadow.
One by one, they return with jewels of courage, laughter, song, love, time, and balance.
Only together can they face the Black Moon's test...
and learn that every ending is only the beginning of a brighter light.
