Castillos en el mar, 1

Beneath a sunken castle at the bottom of the sea, two boys gaze at each other, knowing that one of them shouldn't leave alive. In the depths of the ocean, Kappa and Siren meet for the first time, each burdened with an impossible mission. Kappa is the Lighthouse, the creature destined to fulfill all the prophecies of the sea. Siren is the shark prince, forced to kill him to break the curse that is destroying his people. Nothing goes as planned: Kappa doesn't want to die, Siren doesn't want to become a killer, and amidst prisons, cruel orders, and awkward silences, a bond begins to form that no one could have foreseen. What was meant to be a sacrifice gradually transforms into the story of two boys who discover that perhaps the other is the only person who truly sees them. Betrayals, queens willing to do anything, desperate battles, and secrets sunk to the ocean's depths mingle with stolen glances, whispered confidences, and the dizzying thrill of falling for the wrong person.

With its emotionally charged artwork and spectacular underwater setting, it blends the best of young adult fantasy with an intense and deeply emotional LGBTQ+ romance.
