The Rise of Aurean Tide

We are tideborn. Shaped by salt, forged by gold, bound by the moon.
For generations, the coastal wolves of Aurean Tide lived in quiet strength, keepers of the sea, guardians of ancient power, and heirs to a promise made by an ailing king. Wanting to collect on the promise now, before death collects the king, they rise on a conquest they were prepared for, but not prepared enough. That promise is now on the brink of being broken.
As the world watches, Alpha Kaelen Shellborne leads his people through a bold push for sovereignty. Beside him stands Luna Sereia, a woman shrouded in mystery, haunted by fragmented memories, and destined to shape the soul of a rising nation. But power never rises uncontested.
Virelya's most powerful packs see Aurean Tide not as a nation but a threat. Old alliances fracture, whispers of betrayal creep through courtrooms and council halls, and enemies both known and hidden begin to circle. Some crave war. Others crave control.

In a land where tradition is weaponized and the ocean remembers everything, Kaelen must decide how far he's willing to go to protect his pack, his Luna, and the fragile dream of independence.
Because tides rise but also drown. This is the beginning of an epic fantasy of legacy, resistance, and the cost of becoming something the world has never seen before.

**i've started to involve the wolf personalities more in the book now, so it might be a bit jarring to enter chapter 4 and be reminded that they are werewolves, I'm continue to learn more about writing as I go so there's gonna be some changes and the transitions might not be as smooth as one might hope but once I'm done writing, I'll go back and edit it properly.**
