The Seventh Tide

In mid-19th-century Tidefall, Nari is sacrificed to the mysterious Abyss Lord but survives after encountering the injured Tide Lord, Dane. Their meeting leaves behind Milo, a blue-eyed child with powerful tideblood. Five years later, the family is reunited as the Salt family fights to conceal its crimes. While Nari rises against the old order, Dane confronts the consequences of his past decree. Together, they uncover the truth behind twenty-one sacrificed brides and abolish the ritual, turning Tidefall’s funeral beacon into a light that guides sailors home.
