BeastKeeper
In a kingdom shaped by gods and ruled by elemental power, one girl was never meant to survive. Ten years ago, a shadow creature slipped through a weakened Veil and slaughtered Aria's family-wiping out an entire Beastkeeper bloodline. Or so the kingdom believes. Aria was found unconscious on the riverbank, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. With only basic magic and a nightmare she can't shake, she's spent years preparing for a future that never quite felt like hers. But grief has a way of breaking things open. As the Sorting Ceremony looms, the pressure to prove herself builds-until her control finally shatters. What follows is a flooded hall, a glowing mark burned into her back, and a truth no one is prepared to face. Because the mark belongs to a Beastkeeper. And those were only stories. Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible. Because the Veil is thinning again. And this time, the shadows aren't waiting at the edge.

Riva Muma Aria Buckingham: Her Love and Loss
The sea was restless the night Aria Buckingham was born. Dark waves crashed violently against the cliffs of Port Royal, their rage whispering secrets only the wind could hear. The sky, black as sin, carried no moon-only streaks of silver lightning splitting through the heavens like vengeful swords. In a grand estate, nestled just beyond the harbor, a woman labored in pain, her screams swallowed by the storm. "She must not be born near the water!" an elderly midwife pleaded. "The prophecy-" A man loomed in the candlelight, his face shadowed with fear. His name was Lord Edward Buckingham, a powerful British noble whose wealth stretched across the Caribbean. He had spent his life running from the legend that now threatened his child. His wife, Isla, lay trembling in the bed, her face pale as foam on the tide. "She is coming," Isla whispered, her grip tightening around his wrist. "She belongs to the sea." "No," Edward growled, turning his back on her. "She belongs here, with me." Lightning struck the shore outside, sending an eerie blue glow through the window. And then-silence. A baby's cry pierced the night. But it was not the cry of an ordinary child. The windows shattered. The candles flickered. And in the wind, a voice, ancient and sorrowful, carried from the waves: "She will return to us, Edward Buckingham. No man can keep the sea from what is rightfully hers." Edward's blood ran cold. He staggered back, watching as the midwife cradled the newborn girl, her tiny fingers curling around the silver locket Isla had placed around her neck. A locket inscribed with a name-Aria. As the storm raged on, Edward made a decision that would change Aria's fate forever. She would never know who she truly was. She would never see the sea. And she would never-ever-learn the truth of her mother's death. Not if he could help it.Complete

An Echo Beneath the Water
"Some ancient call that I've heard only in a dream, breathed in whispers and crooned a confusing tongue. It was a melody sung while I slept amidst the trees, the cool feel of the breeze on my backside, and the misty scent of the sea in my nostrils. That dream... it felt like I was there with the voice beneath the water. For the first time in my life, I felt...at peace. " Baylea has survived for over two decades living in the trees far above the water's reach with other women in hiding. The days pass quickly, but the excruciatingly long nights become even harder when the tides are at their highest and the air grows cold and thin. As the nights grow longer with the cold becoming an infectious presence, Baylea sets out on foot to hunt for food and gather what she can before the tides rise again.
