⚔️ She can’t control the ocean.
🌑 The ocean is controlling her.
💔 And it wants them both.
Lyren has spent her life avoiding the sea.
Because the sea remembers.
And the moment it touches her—
it listens.
When a violent storm leaves her stranded in open water, Lyren’s worst fear becomes reality:
the ocean begins to obey her… without her permission.
And then he finds her.
A dangerous stranger aboard a Salt Court ship—an order sworn to hunt and destroy anyone with forbidden power. He should kill her on sight.
Instead—
he stops the attack.
He watches her.
And he says the one thing she was nevermeant to hear:
“I’ve been looking for you.”
🌊 But Lyren isn’t just being hunted…
She’s being called.
Something ancient stirs beneath the waves.
Something that doesn’t belong to the world above.
Something that has chosen her—not as a wielder of power…
…but as a gateway.
And the closer she gets to the man who should be her enemy—
the stronger it awakens.
Because the truth is far more dangerous than either of them expected:
The ocean doesn’t want her.
It wants them.
