Fyrthe is the daughter of a merchant and struggles to support her family whilst her father battles the sea in hope for a better life for his family.
After Fyrthe's mother's death, the sea has become her father's one true love, a one sided love.
When Fyrthe's father voyages the sea and doesn't return, it is up to her to support her siblings in a rapidly changing sea-side village, where painted faces and frilly lace is the minimum.
However there are other adversities Fyrthe must face. After a clumsy encounter with a mysterious man Fyrthe finds herself a maid to the king's children. One of which baffles her to no end.
Will Fyrthe return to her family and dutifully follow the obvious path? Or will she choose her own with a little bit of spices and silks from the worlds outside of her imagination? Either way, the path she takes determines the fate of her family, even at the risk of losing herself.

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
