Even in a mountain village far from the tides, the sea still calls his name.
Hidden from the world and the curse woven into his blood, Daire Tiernan has grown up unaware of what he truly is. But when strangers arrive bearing ancient truths, they name him the long-lost Champion of the Sea-fated to awaken a god of ruin and bring the world to its knees.
As the veil of his quiet life shatters, Daire must choose: run from the prophecy or embrace the power that could destroy everything.
Paedra has loved him in silence, bound by friendship and the fear of losing him. But helping Daire reach the sea means sending him into the heart of a prophecy soaked in blood and shadow-and possibly into the arms of a fate that has no place for her.
Old gods are stirring. The sea is rising.
And somewhere in the deep, something ancient waits... watching.
