The ocean was the only place Jaemin ever felt free.
Raised in a strict religious community far from the shore, he counted the days until eighteen-until he could leave, swim, breathe. Instead, his birthday ends in candlelight, chanting, and blood-soaked earth beneath his feet.
Sacrificed to a supernatural academy hidden beyond the human world, Jaemin is thrust into a realm of monsters, magic, and ancient laws that should have killed him on arrival. Yet water follows him. Pools ripple when he enters. Tides whisper his name.
The academy believes Jaemin was given to them.
They are wrong.
He was claimed by something far older.
