The Feather and the Tide: When the Wind Returns
Two Worlds, One Destiny. Can a Love Forged in Fire Survive the Ocean Between Them?
The bridge has been built, but the cost was blood. After the devastating wildfire sealed a fragile truce between Nayla's tribe and the surviving settlers, her world is forever changed. Her father, Chief Tamen, is gone, sacrificed to the flames, leaving Nayla to lead a shattered village through a new era of fear, sickness, and ash. The prophecy is complete-but the sorrow is just beginning.
Elias, the mapmaker who risked everything to warn Nayla, has been forced onto a returning ship, carrying a carved feather and the harrowing truth of what his people almost did. He is exiled, haunted by the memory of Nayla's face and the promise to return.
But the sea takes without asking, and two hearts separated by an ocean must face impossible trials:
Nayla must rise to become the leader her grandmother Aiyana foresaw, navigating a hostile new council and the lingering fury of her brother, Wesa, who struggles to forgive the boy who saved his life.
Elias must survive a vengeful captain, the cold indifference of his own world, and the burden of a map that shows a home he may never see again.
As new ships threaten the recovering shores and Elias fights for a chance to sail back, the whispered prophecy-"You cannot stop the tide. But you can teach it how to return"-becomes Nayla's only anchor.
Will the enduring love between the girl of the cliffs and the boy of the storms be enough to defy the odds, or will the tide break the fragile bridge they sealed with so much sacrifice?
A captivating journey of leadership, fierce love, and the price of peace in a world split in two.
