Kai Thalasson has a theory about the ocean at midnight: it stops performing and starts breathing.
That's the kind of thought that gets you labeled "emotionally intense" by three consecutive therapists and "that weird kid who stares at the water" by everyone else. Kai's spent seventeen years in Texas feeling like a radio jammed between stations - too much noise, too much feeling, too much of everything and never enough of the right thing. The only place his brain goes quiet is the ocean. Which is inconvenient, considering he lives four hours from the nearest beach.
Then a cruise ship, a girl who weaponizes rainbows, and a sea monster in a Texas lake change everything.
Now Kai knows the truth: he's a son of Poseidon, and the thing he's been hearing in the water his whole life isn't static. It's a distress call. At the bottom of the deepest trench in the world, a seal forged by his father at the dawn of creation is cracking open - and what's pressing through from the other side is older than the gods, older than the Titans, older than the concept of light. If it breaks free, the foundation of reality unmakes itself. No war. No apocalypse. Just silence, where everything used to be.
Armed with a bronze spear, a compass that doesn't point north, a 1986 Ford F-150 painted the color of the Atlantic, and a crew of demigods who fight like a family and argue like one too - Kai must descend into the dark, find the failing seal, and fix it before the world forgets what home means.
TIDALPRISM is the first novel in a new post-Percy Jackson series - a story about the kids who inherit the legends, the found family that becomes the foundation, and the boy from Texas who heard the ocean calling and finally answered back.
