Alaura Hayes has spent her whole life believing she was no one's.
Foster care taught her that early. By the time she graduates law school - alone, in debt, with no job waiting - she's mastered surviving without expecting more.
Then the ocean starts responding to her.
Strangers can't stay away. A man nearly drowns getting too close. And whatever is happening to Alaura isn't normal.
It's dangerous.
When an unexpected opportunity pulls her group to Martha's Vineyard for the summer, it should be a reset before real life begins.
Instead, it becomes a trap.
Because Alaura Hayes wasn't abandoned.
She was presumed dead.
Hidden as a child after a secret council decided her existence was too dangerous to survive, Now the truth is surfacing. And so is her power.
A man sent to track her was never meant to hesitate.
He's hesitating.
As the world she thought she understood begins to break open, Alaura must decide who she is before others decide for her - because the forces that tried to erase her once are watching again.
And this time, they won't miss.
LUNATIDE - where power isn't given. It's inherited.
