Sullivan Cross is an exceptionally ordinary 17 year old girl. For the most part. Most of the time. Except for her tiny, colossal, mega, unhealthy, almost kind of crazy obsession with the ocean. The ocean she has never seen and has been forbidden to visit. Land-locked her whole life, a part of her she doesn't quite understand yearns for what has been denied her. As secrets and stories long forgotten drag her into battle for her life, will she be able to follow her heart and fight a destiny that was never hers to follow, or will the tides of a world she didn't know existed pull her from all that she knows and holds dear?
