"Sean carried the glowing Tide Egg with his life, hoping the Ocean Alpha and the Blacktide court would finally see him as family.
But in a palace ruled by pride, jealousy, and old bloodlines, love is never enough. When Sean is accused of betraying the very heir he swore to protect, Adrian turns away, the court strips him of his place, and the ocean sends him back to the human shore with nothing but a broken bond and a father’s promise.
They thought the Tide Heir belonged to power.
They were wrong.
As the egg begins to answer only Sean’s heartbeat, hidden lies rise from the deep. The ones who framed him must face the truth, and the Alpha who rejected him must choose between the court that deceived him and the mate he failed to trust.
Rejected by the Ocean Alpha, Sean returns not to beg for love — but to protect the heir that chose him first."
