To the Metkayina clan, Ao'nung is the golden son, the future Olo'eyktan, and the most eligible bachelor on the reef. To Mateya, he's just the skxawng whose food she steals and who pulls her tail every chance he has. He is the cocky heir to the Olo'eyktan; she is the clan's fiercest warrior, haunted by the whispers of a spiritual destiny she isn't ready to claim and by the loss of her parents when she was 15, destined to live by herself in her family pod, growing up with Ronal and Tonowari's guide and her friendship with Ao'nung, Tsireya and Rotxo. But when the pressure of leadership and the arrival of rival suitors force them to face their unspoken feelings, their playful banter and teasing turns into a slow-burn fire.

❝You have bewitched me with those eyes.❞ ❝You're delusional.❞ With the return of the Sky People leading to the destruction of Katiya's home, her family had no choice but to flee to a place unknown. The challenges that came with adapting to change also led to the endurance of a certain boy. Mixed with mutual antipathy for one another, it wasn't long before she found herself entangled in a messy altercation with the future Olo'eyktan of the Metkayina clan. Aonung was aggravatingly stubborn, but so was she.

For Zari, life on the reef has always been simple. Diving beneath crystal waters, laughing with friends, and dutifully dodging her mother's endless matchmaking schemes. At twenty, she's already past the typical mating age, but she's never truly looked at anyone with longing. Why rush love when the sea already gives her everything? Until he steps in. Aonung, her brother's best friend. The infuriating boy who used to tease her, the skilled hunter everyone admires, the one she's never really paid attention to... until now. But Aonung is off-limits. Surely, he's only ever seen her as Kizan's little sister... right? Caught between duty, family, and forbidden longing, Zari must decide if love is worth risking everything, especially when it's the kind that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

He remembers the light line of her smile as she swooped around him. That smile had cost him everything. He doesn't catch it. She'd saved his life. He was sure of that, but why would an ash na'vi help him? And why does he help her? 𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦, he mutters, wiping her blood off onto the rock beneath them.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ❥ The forest will forever be your home. No matter where your family moves you'll always be pulled back to the Omatikaya clan, your people. The waves and their tide could never pull you in. An insufferable boy only makes your time at sea ten times worse. With each sly comment and tease thrown your way, you only wish to drown at sea.

As the future Olo'eyktan of the Metkayina, Aonung prides himself on control-over the reef, over others, over himself-until Kel 'Hani disrupts it with a single laugh and a look held too long. She tells herself she dislikes his arrogance; he tells himself she's too stubborn. Yet the space between them tightens all the same, heavy with things unsaid and moments unfinished. Where restraint is tested, denial becomes habit, and the sea quietly shifts along with something neither of them is ready to face.
