In RUINED, after vampires kidnap Zel and leave her tied to a tree in the Kingdom of Barmoth, a stranger rescues her and brings her to his home under the sea. Still angry with Xavier for betraying her with another woman, Zel can't resist surrendering to the stranger, a merman, and before she can come to her senses, she finds herself indulging in the most intense sex she has ever had.
