Jarek Elderberry was never built for an ordinary life. Marked from birth by a scar carved with ancient Velorian runes, he carries the weight of a prophecy his family refuses to speak aloud. Veloria - the drowned world of their ancestors - fell to chaos centuries ago, but its laws still bind Jarek's bloodline, dictating who survives and who disappears. London Price has always been his anchor - storm-gray eyes, hidden power, a bond older than memory itself. But when she vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a fading energy signature, Jarek is thrust into a spiraling hunt through forests where shadows move wrong and time bends around old scars. Creatures long thought extinct stalk the edges of reality: Sælions - guardians of bloodlines, bound by loyalty and instinct; Vareks - fractured Velorian predators who test the limits of ancient borders; and the Windigo-Wolves - hunters born of corruption and hunger, drawn to the rare, luminous energy Jarek and London share. As the Rite of the Tide nears - a sacred trial forcing every Velorian-Skinwalker hybrid to claim their ancestral ring buried beneath living ocean currents - Jarek must face the truth: the seal holding back an ancient darkness is cracking. Laws are breaking. Families are splintering. Some destinies aren't inherited. They're written in scars. Trigger Warnings: Grief · Violence · Blood · Family Trauma · Mental Health
