Deception is a weapon. And she's about to wield it.
In a realm where ancient powers sleep beneath the waves, a young woman hides a gift the world would kill to control. Raised in silence and shadows, Eliza has lived her life behind a mask—trained to fear her abilities and bury her past.
But when an empire’s war spills into her village, Eliza is thrust into a deadly game of politics, prophecy, and power. She must navigate a crumbling kingdom ruled by secrets, where every ally has an agenda and every truth is wrapped in lies.
At the heart of it all stands a broken throne—and two paths: one leads to freedom, the other to destruction.
And the gods are watching.
A Tale of Water is a spellbinding dark fantasy debut about loyalty, legacy, and the price of becoming who you were meant to be. If you love atmospheric world-building, masked heroines, and slow-burning magic, step into the flood.
