Synopsis:

The delicate balance between the underwater realm and the human world is threatened when a magical artifact falls into the wrong hands. Lucia, a princess of the North Pacific merfolk, embarks on an unexpected journey to retrieve this pearl, venturing into a world she's only heard whispered about in legends. Her arrival stirs both curiosity and apprehension amongst humanity, as Lucia navigates unfamiliar customs while safeguarding her people from a creeping darkness that seeks to destabilize their kingdoms. Music serves as both a shield and a conduit for her power, highlighting the connection between sound, emotion, and the preservation of ancient traditions. The series explores themes of cultural understanding, responsibility, and the courage required to bridge divides in the face of encroaching conflict.
