But now, as Europe{u2019}s medieval age comes to a close, the efforts of zealous priests and the destructive ringing of church bells are causing the city to crumble.

Their numbers dwindling, the merpeople scatter. Some abandon their home for the coast of Dalmatia in the Adriatic Sea, while others{u2014}the half-human, half-seaborn children of the great merfolk king Vanimen{u2014}decide to scout alien territory on land for adventure, treasure, and clues to their lost human heritage
