Before Georgette vanished, someone was sent to bring her home.
Cairnshore is dying.
The fields have turned bare. The drains whisper. The sea hums beneath the stones. Beneath the village, something ancient is stirring again, and the Tidewardens, guardians of Cairnshore's oldest debt, are running out of time.
For one young warden, loyalty has always meant obedience. His brother Thomas believes in the old ways, in sacrifice, service, and the terrible bargains that keep the village alive. But when Thomas begins to change, marked by the sea and claimed by something beneath it, obedience becomes impossible.
The Tidewardens name one hope: Georgette Vale.
Taken from Cairnshore as a child, Georgette has built another life in London. She has another name, another home, and someone who loves her without knowing what waits beneath the water. Sent to find her, the young warden believes he can save his brother, protect Georgette, and outwit the men who raised him in fear.
But Cairnshore does not send rescuers. It sends hooks.
As duty turns to obsession and pity becomes possession, he discovers that the village's rituals were never meant to end its hunger, only delay it. And when Georgette is dragged back to the shore, the sea opens a door that should have stayed buried.
Book Two, The Tidewarden reveals the dark history behind Georgette's disappearance, the rise of Cairnshore's old debt, and the terrible truth of what waits beneath the tide. A Cosmic Folk Horror set in the fictional coastal village of Cairnshore.
Some villages remember their dead. Cairnshore remembers what it is owed.
