Story
Cast out of Poseidon's court, Triton ends up rowing as a galley slave. Through the Trials, his royal blood starts to awaken, though betrayal tests him at every turn. The trident, the Titans' scheme and the freedom of the sea kingdom that cast him out all lie ahead of him. Every trial brings him closer to his lost throne.
