Lunatide (Tideborn, #1)

She thought she was starting her life.

Instead, something older has already claimed it.

Alaura Hayes has spent her life building stability from nothing—moving forward without family, without answers, without anything to fall back on but herself. After years of discipline and sacrifice, she’s finally on the edge of everything she worked for.

But when reality begins to shift in ways she can’t explain, she’s pulled into a world operating just beneath the surface of her own.

A world where power is watched, controlled—and where some people were never meant to exist at all.

Drawn toward something vast and unrelenting, Alaura is forced to confront a truth that reshapes everything she thought she knew about herself: the absence she grew up with may not have been abandonment.

It may have been concealment.

Because some things aren’t discovered.

They return.
