    Summary

    He watches you with anticipation and you look back at the fish and him again, pointing to yourself when you ask, "For me?"

    He nods once and you're actually surprised. You could only guess he's been watching and noticing your lack of catches. You give him a smile, genuinely touched.

    "Thank you."

    His eyebrows raise at the two familiar words and he disappears into the water before you're able to see more of his reaction. It's a short-lived interaction. But it's enough to tell you that he's still here.

    -

    Amidst your repetitive days and weeks, a chance encounter with a creature from the sea transforms your days from its monotone hue to an array of blooming colors.

    Summary

    You are the lighthouse keeper - immortal so long as you never abandon your post on the drifting island that passes between Philos above and Lemuria below every seventy-seven years.

    Nothing and no one is able to breach the wards. Or so you thought.

    Rafayel crashes through first - furious, gorgeous, covered in the blood of men who hunted him for his scales and the immortality his kind's blood is said to grant.
    Xavier follows hours later - a Philosian crown prince tracking the same men, crashing through your broken wards like a falling star.
    They hate each other immediately.

    They're both armed, both powerful, both stuck - and you're the lighthouse keeper they now rely on to survive the next sixty days.
    As mercenaries search for the breach, and the island itself begins to whisper, the only thing they agree on is keeping you alive.

    Summary

    The ocean gives up one of its oldest secrets—and the Lemuria Institute calls it a specimen.

    Mira Calder calls him Rafayel.

    He is proud, furious, breathtaking, and far too intelligent for the tank they’ve placed him in. Their first encounters are all teeth and defiance, but somewhere between the experiments, the shattered glass, and the fragile attempts at communication, Mira finds the beginnings of a bond she never expected.

    And Rafayel, king of the abyss, finds a reason to look at a surface-dweller without hatred.

    A slow descent into discovery, danger, and a connection that might drown them both.
