On the endless, treacherous seas of Velmoria, a bloody war has raged for centuries between surface-dwelling humans and the mysterious merflocks of the deep. Enter Hunter Blood, a deceptively cheerful pirate whose veins harbor a miraculous secret: he is the Blood Bearer, possessing blood that can heal any illness or fatal injury. Yet, Hunter hides a crippling fear of abandonment, a fatal flaw that drives him to desperately buy the loyalty of others with his life-giving blood, leaving him physically weak and constantly exploited. When Hunter is shipwrecked near the notorious black-market haven of Varkuun, he is rescued by Wise, one of the legendary princes of the Deep Kingdom. As the ruthless pirate fleets hunt them both to exploit Hunter's miracle cure and plunder the sea's hidden treasures, an unexpected romance blossoms. To survive the impending Depth War, Hunter must learn to trust Wise's love, or risk bleeding himself dry for a world that only views him as a resource.
