Love Behind Waves // Aonung

"The ocean is always changing, always moving. We can fight the tide, or we can learn to swim with it."

As a Tsahìk-in-training, Zayli has always known her place among the Metkayina. She is the daughter of the ocean, bound to its rhythms, its life, and its traditions. But when the Sully family arrives, everything begins to change. With war on the horizon, old rivalries stirring, and a forbidden love growing between her and Ao'nung, Zayli must navigate the tides of duty, loyalty, and the unshakable pull of her heart. As she fights for her people and her future, she will learn that the ocean does not choose sides-it only demands strength.
