Marked by the Tide
Elara never believed she belonged anywhere - until she arrives at Camp Half-Blood.
As a daughter of Aphrodite, Elara is expected to be charming, graceful, and harmless. But beneath her beauty lies something far more dangerous: a connection to the sea itself, marked by a power no one fully understands - not even her.
Not long after settling into camp, Elara is chosen for a quest unlike any other.
She must find and protect the Tide Seal, an ancient artifact bound to the balance of the oceans and the gods themselves. If it falls into the wrong hands, the tides will rise, monsters will awaken, and the world above may drown.
She is joined by Percy Jackson, whose loyalty to the sea feels strangely familiar, and Thoren, her protector and closest friend - steady, brave, and hiding fears of his own.
But danger doesn't only lurk beyond the camp's borders.
Nyxion, once Elara's closest ally, knows more about the Tide Seal than he ever admits. Charming and trusted, he walks beside her - until the moment he turns against her. His betrayal threatens not only the quest, but Elara's heart, forcing her to question who she can truly trust.
As gods stir and the sea begins to call her name, Elara must prove that love is not weakness - and that even a daughter of Aphrodite can change the fate written in the waves.
Because once you are marked by the tide, betrayal cuts deeper than any blade
