    Summary

    The forest was their home, the ocean is their survival.

    After the devastating war for the Omatikaya, the Sully family seeks refuge among the Metkayina clan but for the Sully siblings, the transition from the towering trees to the endless blue is anything but peaceful.

    Neteyam is the perfect son, but in the water he is a novice, as he struggles to master the way of the sea, he finds himself under the watchful, arrogant eyes of Aonung, the Reef Prince is determined to prove the forest boy doesn't belong, until a shared burden of leadership turns their rivalry into a bond that neither can ignore.

    Loak has always been the outcast, but the reef feels even more hostile than the forest, between his demon blood and his impulsive temper, he's a magnet for trouble, and Tik'vam is happy to provide it. The fastest swimmer in the clan makes it his mission to tease the fiery Omatikaya boy, sparking a high stakes game of bickering that hides a dangerous attraction.

    In a world where one wrong breath can mean drowning, the Sullys must learn that the Way of Water connects all things or be swept away by the current.
