Trapped beside a god in borrowed skin, Scarlet must survive long enough to reclaim her truth. As ancient powers rise from the sea and her memories begin to unravel, she must face the monster who once loved her-and decide if she'd rather burn than belong.
Scarlet Singer thought she'd faced the worst, but the past refuses to let her go. When the ancient demon Dagon offers a chance to save Zig-the boy who holds her heart-Scarlet agrees to a bargain that could cost her soul. In this gripping second installment of the Fountain of Youth series, Scarlet and Dagon embark on a dangerous quest to find a new host for the demon's spirit. Along the way, secrets emerge from the shadows-secrets of Scarlet's past lives, hidden truths about Dagon, and a journal that may hold the key to everything. But as Scarlet uncovers the threads binding her fate to Dagon's, the line between enemy and ally blurs. Can she trust the demon who's haunted her for centuries, or is she walking straight into her own destruction? Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, ancient magic, and high-stakes romance, The Sea Withdrew will sweep you deeper into the perilous world of witches, demons, and the legacy of the Fountain of Youth.
