Aria Selene Maris' world ended the moment her hidden garden beneath the waves was destroyed. Exiled from the realm she once called home, she wanders barefoot through a world she barely understands, where words are strange and streets are stranger. Everything she knew has vanished-except for her powers, lingering quietly beneath the surface.
Dayvon Daquan Bennett sees more than just her confusion. He sees the mystery, the vulnerability, and a soul unlike any he's ever known. Drawn to her in ways he can't explain, he becomes her guide, her protector, and the first anchor in a world that feels overwhelming and unfamiliar.
Some love doesn't follow rules. Some connections defy language, danger, and even reality itself. And sometimes, the tide doesn't just bring you to shore-it brings you exactly where you're meant to be.
"I know you feel it too... even if you don't say it."
