When the Sully family is forced to flee the forest and seek refuge with the Metkayina, Neteyam finds himself trapped in a world he never chose. The sea is unfamiliar, unforgiving, and nothing like the home he was forced to leave behind.
Kì'ral was born of the ocean, but his dreams have always belonged to the sky. A Metkayina warrior and teacher, he has learned to stay where the tide placed him-even when his heart looks elsewhere.
Thrown together by circumstance, duty, and survival, the two meet at the edge of worlds they do not fully belong to. Between rivalry and guidance, longing and restraint, the sea teaches them more than how to swim.
Because the sea gives, and the sea takes-
and sometimes, it brings two souls together just long enough to change them both.
