  Summary

  "We're all puppets to fate. I'm surprised you haven't seen the strings yet."

  Ciro Velari is a half-mortal sailor who trusts the sea more than the gods—and believes in neither.

  Lord Kai is a god of time and patience, though lately, humanity has tested both.

  When a storm leaves Ciro stranded on Kai's shore, mortal and god are forced into an uneasy truce. But the tides carry more than wreckage, and fate is not so easily defied.

  Because no matter how far the tide recedes...it always returns.

  Summary

  "You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
  And I don't wanna go home right now"
  - "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls

  Grace thought he was the only human out here, light years away from Earth.
  Simon thought he'd died to the eel, along with his companion in the SM-13.
  Viper thought they'd lost any hopes of a second chance, after being sent down to the blood moon.

  Perhaps what we believe isn't always the truth, however impossible the alternative may seem.
