siennasie
Aureya, the older sister of Rotxo, has always been curious, gentle, and stubborn - a daughter of the Metkayina reef who dreams of seeing the world beyond her home. But in a clan that expects her to marry Aonung, the future Olo'eyktan, her life already feels decided.
Then Neteyam arrives. Calm, steady, and completely unbothered by expectations, he sees her for who she truly is - not a prize, not a symbol, just Aureya.
Caught between duty and desire, tradition and rebellion, Aureya must navigate jealous glances, stolen moments, and the tangled currents of love. Will she follow her heart, or will the reef's expectations pull her underwater?
