When two young cyren friends find themselves caught between warring factions in a world where magic runs as deep as the tides, they must navigate impossible choices that challenge everything they thought they knew. Deelie and Cerys discover that the conflicts threatening their world are far more complex than simple good versus evil—and that their friendship will be tested in ways they never imagined. With mystery unfolding at every turn and the weight of adult politics bearing down on their shoulders, these two must decide what they're willing to fight for and who they can truly trust. This is a stunning fantasy that weaves together magic, intrigue, and the fierce bond of female friendship against the backdrop of a world at war.
