"Who has week-long birthday celebrations?" Well, Jesse Rhys does. And little does anyone know it will end in disaster - and right an ancient wrong. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Evander Rhys is not looking forward to his sister's party. He really doesn't want to have four dozen eighteen-year-olds running around Glassbeach-the Rhys private island and summer vacation spot. His only source of relief is the presence of his cousin Alexander, best friend and constant source of jokes. But when disaster strikes and he fails to save a girl from drowning, his life is turned upsidedown. Depressed and grieving, with a necklace and an eye that makes him question what he's been taught about reality, he's submerged into a world where legends are the norm and the seas are restless. Mira Armstrong didn't always have that name. After her parents died in a car crash when Mira was one, she went into foster care and was eventually adopted by the Armstrong family: a girl named Sophie and her uncle and grandmother. Living in their own little bubble, the girls are surprised when they find themselves invited along with all the rest of the graduated seniors to Jesse Rhys's birthday celebration at her family's summer home on Glassbeach Island. Each with an instant crush on the Rhys boys, everything seems to be going perfectly until a storm blows in and Mira finds herself at the center of an ancient feud. Now the question is, will the sea show mercy, or will it bring down its wrath as it did so long ago?

This is not a happy, feel-good story. This is a story of heartbreak, of a person being utterly destroyed. However, it is also a story of true friendship and loyalty, of finding oneself, of unwavering love. It is a story of keeping promises, no matter how much it kills you to keep them. (Not my cover photo) Condensed and more succinct version of previous story Bit of an 'origin story' to Hiraeth (WIP) which shows how much grief can interfere with living your life. TW: mental illness, death, abuse, suicide, drug abuse, violence, assault, sexual assault This novel is told from the perspective of Alex - as she grows up with her best friend, Andy. It follows 15 years of friendship, in the format of monthly journal entries. Andy and Alex's teen angst evolves into harsh adult realities, but they always have each other. It shines a light on a lot of prevalent issues in society: addiction, stalking, assault, abuse, mental illness, and the ever-present grief of losing loved ones. Andy and Alex never get the timing right in their love for one another, and often drift apart as a result - but they can always find each other again.
