In a world where war scars the forest and the tide remembers every loss, love is not gentle-choosing each other may demand a price neither of you is ready to pay.

She is the firstborn of moonlit waves, white hair like foam, pink eyes glowing in the reef's depths. He is the golden heir of the forest, burdened by a crown he never wanted. Two perfect heirs. Two hearts suffocating under expectation. The clan sees her as different. The forest sees him as untouchable. And yet... when tides meet forest, when moonlight kisses sunfire, they find each other. A forbidden love. A healing touch. A worshipful devotion that neither clan nor fate could prepare them for.
