Barefoot on Barbaza's white sand, 12-year-old Amora carves a spiral seashell necklace for Zion, promising forever. But when her red-lipstick-wearing stepsister Nathaliemoves in, she steals more than Amora's childhood sandcastles-she hijacks Zion's heart with lies that crumble every promise they ever made.
For years, Amora's kindness is mistaken for weakness: she saves Zion from a surf accident only to be unthanked, watches Nathaliefake fevers to trap him, and hides her love in a journal Nathalie rips apart. When a Cebu transfer student named Kael hands her a tissue and a reason to hope, Amora finally slaps Zion awake-but is his late apology enough to fix the chipped shell of their bond?
