Some secrets are meant to stay buried beneath the waves. Others will break you before they ever surface.
When Elara inherits Seawisp-a stunning but fragile glass house perched on a precarious Atlantic cliff-she expects to find answers about a grandmother she never knew. Instead, she discovers a locked cedar chest, a town that speaks in riddles, and a house that seems to breathe with a life of its own.
Atheria is a place of gray shingles and closed curtains, where outsiders are watched and the fog rolls in like wet velvet.
At the heart of the mystery is Rhys Kaelen-a bookstore owner with eyes the color of a winter sky and a knowledge of the sea that feels dangerously vast.
As a slow-burning romance ignites between them, Elara uncovers a devastating truth:
Rhys is not who he claims to be.
The inheritance isn't just a home-it's a liability. Tied to a twenty-five-year-old maritime heist, a faked death, and a ruthless criminal network that never stops hunting, Elara and Rhys must decode a dead woman's riddles before the tide rises too high.
