Some islands are meant to be left alone.
But what if it calls you back?
When Mira returns to the remote island resort her father once called home, she isn't looking for answers-just closure. But the island has other plans.
Whispers in the waves. Footsteps in the trees. A stranger with eyes that seem to know too much. And Elijah-her once-love, the boy she left behind-suddenly back in her life, searching for truths of his own.
What begins as a quiet escape becomes a dangerous unraveling. The island hides secrets buried deep in its cliffs and coves-secrets tied to Mira's family, her past, and the storm she can no longer outrun.
As old flames reignite and the tide pulls her deeper into the mystery, Mira must choose: trust the boy who still holds her heart... or follow the current toward the truth, even if it drowns her.
Because on this island,
the sea never forgets-
but the island always lies.
