Pulled into events larger than herself, Aya must navigate a perilous, far-reaching journey shaped by her own actions. Confronting complex ties and threats born from yesterday's choices, will uncovering the truth save her, or will the repercussions of her past consume her entirely?

His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers.
"You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft.
"You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.'
