Storm of Tides

By Shirley Parabia and Shirley Siaton

Will love bind them-or will the storm tear them apart?

I was never meant to feel anything.

My name is Kadluk. I am twelve cycles old, a son of Tagrawa and a warrior raised on sea and silence. I was given as tribute to a foreign court-to serve, to watch, to forget who I was.

Then I met her. And I learned what it meant to protect something. To choose someone. To belong somewhere.

They call me the Strongest Son. But I was only strong when I stood beside her.

I was never meant to be protected.

My name is Shamila. I am ten cycles old, the Princess of Laksay, born to outwit kings and outrun fate. I carry knives in my robes and secrets in my sleeves. I do not waver. I do not yield.

Then came the boy who never forgets. He moved like the wind. He stayed like the eye of the storm. And somehow-he saw me.

They say I don't need anyone. They say I will be a ruler of lands beyond our shores.

But even a storm needs an anchor. And even the tides need to break.
