The sleepy fishing village of Saltash is still grieving the disappearance and presumed death of Alder Flint when, exactly one year later, Selwyn Blackthorn finds him swimming at the beach. Alder seems unharmed, but he has no explanation for his long absence and Wyn knows that there's something different about him. And it's not just that Alder's suddenly interested in being Wyn's friend. 

Wyn is one of the last remaining sea witches in Saltash, and the Goddess Below the Waves has been sending him mysterious dreams that he's sure have something to do with Alder. As he grows closer to Alder and finds himself falling in love, Wyn must decide if he really wants to solve the mystery of Alder Flint. Along the way, Wyn also uncovers long-hidden secrets about himself, and he must decide if it's better that some things stay buried beneath the waves.

* ONC 2020 AMBASSADOR'S PICK * * ONC 2020 HONORABLE MENTION * * ONC 2020 SHORT LIST * * HIDDEN GEMS * Sean has a problem: his dreams come to life. It causes him enough trouble that he moves across the country to start fresh at Everwood Institute. But as his repetitive dreams become more vivid, he wonders if anything he sees is real, and if the black leaves Finn trails behind him are truly there... Finn tries to keep his dreams under control, but this year, he keeps dreaming the same dream. It haunts him in the day, and doesn't help when he's trying to keep his past problems separate from his present life. Then there's the matter of Sean, who leaves flowers blooming wherever he steps... As Sean and Finn grow closer, they realize there's more to their dreams - and each other - than they know. ~*~ COMPLETED | #lgbtq+ #mlm #contemporaryfantasy "How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?" - Plato Prompt #15, OpenNovellaContest2020 Word Count: 21,198 words
