"Some Love Stories Were Never Meant to be Simple"
She woke up on the shore with no memory of who she was.
No past. No answers. Only the quiet rhythm of the ocean and the small coastal town of Sunbittern Rising that took her in when she had nowhere else to go.
Among the people who slowly become her home are Kace, whose steady kindness makes her believe she might belong, and Theodore, whose sharp wit and guarded nature hide something far deeper than beneath the surface. Between them, she begins to build a life she never expected--and feelings she cannot ignore.
Beyond the safety of Sunbittern Rising, the world is shifting. Creatures once thought to be legend are beginning to appear, and a dark force is moving through the land wearing the faces of those people she trusts.
As fear creeps closer to the people she has come to love, she finds herself standing at the center of something far larger than she understands.
But some sacrifices echo longer than anyone realizes.
And sometimes, the greatest heartbreak begins with love.
