Among the last of changeling kind were stories. Stories of a uptopia of changeling kind with a benevolent changeling queen that led her people to prosperous times, and that this utopia hid itself somewhere beneath the seemingly endless sea that has covered their world for the past hundreds of years keeping itself away from prying eyes.

For the longest time these stories where thought to be fiction by the few changelings that were left on the surface. But when Cicada and his little brother Mantis are forced to leave their home they are left with little other choice. The two brothers find themselves on the run from either bounty hunters and sea monsters alike. With an uncertain future the two brothers are faced with challenges on top of challenges.
