Beneath the Veil of Tides: A dark, gothic reimagining of The Little Mermaid meets Pirates of the Caribbean (Book 1 of the Between Salt and Stars Duology)

Caelyn of the Oceanwrought Bound should have died in the sea.

Instead, she wakes with no memory, dragged from the depths and hunted by the very waters that birthed her.
When she claws her way aboard a passing ship, she finds herself among a dangerous crew: a runaway princeling thief, a villain-born assassin, a grieving, motherly pirate.

But something far worse than her past is rising.

The land is overrun by monstrous forces. The sea stirs with ancient power. And war looms on the horizon, vast enough to swallow both. The closer Caelyn gets to her past, the more the world seems to bend around her…as if every storm, every death, every whispered prophecy has been leading to this moment.

To her.

Now, with enemies rising from both land and sea and a power awakening within her, Caelyn must choose who to trust—and what she’s willing to become.

Because if she falls, the tide won’t just turn.

It will consume everything.
