"No. But he should." The guard told her with a low growl. "You've brought so much grief to our king by merely coming here, and not to mention the desecration you've done to our habitat. And yet, your sentence will come at a later time."
Without another word, the shark Merman swam away and left her alone.
Relatively alone.
The prison she was in was not what Rowena expected. The one at her father's was dark with barely a hint of fire or any light.
