Rival island clans have kept the peace for years through an annual bride offering made by the weaker clan, but the son of that clan’s chief is tired of this archaic system and intends to shake things up. Unfortunately, fate intervenes, and before he’s able to put his plan into place, he finds himself at his rival’s mercy in more ways than one! 

A year has passed since Avel, the son of the Tangata clan’s chief, married into the Miyaru clan, whose people are said to possess the blood of sharks. His new husband, Tukiri, next in line to become chief, married Avel as a means of keeping the peace between their two clans, but Tukiri has been secretly in love with Avel ever since they were kids. Avel has been basking in Tukiri’s love and enjoying married life, but one day, he feels himself begin to change!
