Shellwyn has always heard the whispers of the sea, but when strange green magic stirs in the ruins beneath the waves, curiosity leads her into forbidden depths. What she finds is more than an artifact. It is a Tear of ancient power and a vision of a boy she has never met, a boy standing against shadows that should not exist.
Torn between loyalty to her people and the call of truth, Shellwyn faces warnings from her elders, dangers from the Hollow Lords, and an ambush that nearly costs her life. To claim the Tear is to claim a destiny she does not yet understand, but one that ties her fate to a human child who may change the world of Thistalyn forever.
Discover the beginning of the journey in this haunting prequel to The Winberie Journals: Awakening.
