The worlds of the living and the dead are intertwined more tightly than people think. Marga and Maximilian know this well. Like many others, they serve Death—taking souls from people and delivering them to their mistress. Marga does it in water. She is a mermaid from the most ruthless tribe—the Lorelels. Sea divas sink ships and mercilessly kill sailors. Maximilian lives on land and takes souls from people through a kiss. They’re nothing alike: different lives, different goals, but these two decide to unite to save those they’ve come to love. The servants of Death are ready to trade centuries of carefree life for confrontation with their mistress. But can Her Majesty be defeated? And what will this struggle mean for each of them when the water speaks?
