Kings and Queens rise and fall, loyalties collide, and
romance blooms in a world where the sea is rising—and cannot
be escaped. Khosa is Given to the Sea, a girl born to be fed to the
water, her flesh preventing a wave like the one that
destroyed the Kingdom of Stille in days of old. But before
she’s allowed to dancean uncontrollable twitching of the
limbs that will carry her to the shore in a frenzy—she must
produce an heir. Yet the thought of human touch sends
shudders down her spine that not even the sound of the tide
can match. Vincent is third in line to inherit his throne, royalty in a
kingdom where the old linger and the young inherit only
boredom. When Khosa arrives without an heir he knows his
father will ensure she fulfills her duty, at whatever cost.
Torn between protecting the throne he will someday fill, and
the girl whose fate is tied to its very existence, Vincent’s
loyalty is at odds with his heart. Dara and Donil are the last of the Indiri, a native race
whose dwindling magic grows weaker as the island country
fades. Animals cease to bear young, creatures of the sea
take to the land, and the Pietra—fierce fighters who
destroyed the Indiri a generation before—are now marching
from their stony shores for the twin’s adopted homeland, Stille. Witt leads the Pietra, their army the only family he has
ever known. The stone shores harbor a secret, a growing
threat that will envelop the entire land—and he will conquer
every speck of soil to ensure the survival of his people. The tides are turning in Stille, where royals scheme,
Pietrans march, and the rising sea calls for its Given.
