In the isolated coastal town of Blackthorn Cove, the sea doesn't just drown-it *consumes*.
Thirty years after the mysterious disappearance of star-crossed lovers **Mara Kane** and **Thomas Voss**, their children collide in a storm of secrets, betrayal, and sentient evil. **Liam Kane**, a marine biologist haunted by his mother's unsolved death, arrives to study a toxic algae bloom poisoning the cove's waters. **Elena Voss**, a journalist reeling from her father's suicide, returns to uncover his obsession with the town's ritualistic drownings. What they find is a conspiracy as deep as the ocean: the algae is alive, mutating, and driving the townsfolk to madness.
As Liam and Elena unravel a trail of moonstone-marked corpses and encrypted journal entries, they discover their parents' doomed love affair-and a pact forged by the town's founders to feed the algae with sacrificial lives. But the deeper they dig, the more the water tightens its grip. Sheriff Clay Dunn's threats turn lethal. Hallucinations bleed into reality. And the algae, now sentient, whispers through the rain, demanding a new pair of souls to sustain its hunger.
To survive, Liam and Elena must confront a truth more venomous than the tide: sometimes love is the deadliest toxin of all.
