The sea took her past. Now, it whispers her future.On the eve of a royal celebration, a dying woman stumbled through the castle gates, clutching a child to her chest. With her final breath, she offered only a name-Nasrin-and a warning: watch the sea, and trust no one.Raised within castle walls as a royal ward, Nasrin lives a life of splendor and safety. But her heart aches with questions no one can answer-about her blood, her origins, and the smooth stone pendant she's worn since she was a child. As she grows, so too does the unease lurking beneath the waves.Now, with tensions rising across the kingdom and a dark foreign prince threatening the fragile peace, Nasrin begins to uncover truths long buried in salt and shadow. A lost lineage. A divided heart. And a power within her blood that was never meant to stay hidden.When war looms on the horizon, Nasrin must decide who she is: the girl raised by a crown-or the heir claimed by the sea.Because the past may be forgotten by men... but the sea never forgets.
