After moving to the wealthy coastal town of Bradford Coast the summer before her senior year, eighteen-year-old Julianne Castell quickly realizes there's something deeply wrong beneath the town's perfect exterior.
The ocean never seems to sleep.
The fog rolls in too fast.
And the powerful Blackwood family - elegant, untouchable, and impossibly unchanged in photographs dating back over a century - watches her like they've been waiting for her return.
Especially Kieran Blackwood.
Cold. Mysterious. Haunted.
He looks at Julianne not like a stranger...
but like someone he lost a long time ago.
As violent storms begin swallowing the coastline and whispers echo through the fog-covered streets, Julianne uncovers the horrifying truth hidden beneath Bradford Coast: generations ago, the Blackwoods made a pact with an ancient entity beneath the sea. In exchange for immortality and prosperity, one outsider must be sacrificed to the ocean every decade.
This time, the sacrifice was supposed to be Julianne.
But the deeper she falls into the town's secrets, the more impossible the truth becomes.
Because Julianne isn't just connected to Bradford Coast's past.
She's already lived it.

He was a wild and that was where he found the most comfort, lost in the darkness while his wolf took over.

Ezekiel makes a choice that topples his world into the clinging dredges of the past and Julieta comes face to face with a male she had once had a foolish little crush on what feels like lifetimes ago.

I've always been a grumpy, antisocial kid, but losing her made me even angrier at the world. When I ran into another student at my new school, I couldn't help but snap at him. I had no idea he was the intimidating, stoic Killian Reed. Moments after I snapped at him, he shoved me into the lockers, and I genuinely believed he was going to make my life hell. But then, unexpectedly, he's there to stop a couple of guys from assaulting me. At first, I think it's just a coincidence. Yet, as more trouble seems to follow me and he somehow always appears to save me, I begin to sense there's more to Killian-a secret tied to me.
