When her ship crashes on the ocean world of Miravale, Aileen wakes to a silence that hums beneath the waves. She’s rescued by Kaia, a solitary diver who believes she’s the Starborn Tidekeeper a myth made flesh, sent to heal the wounded sea. But Aileen knows a truth she can’t tell, and Kaia clings to a grief too deep to name.
Together they search the glowing reefs for what’s been lost, light flickering across their faces like unspoken words. Each dive brings them closer, and every glance feels heavier with what neither dares to say. Yet secrets move through the current the weight of Aileen’s mission, the legend that binds them, the ocean stirring awake.
When the sea begins to rise and memory itself turns against them, trust is no longer a choice. To save each other, and the fragile world between them, they must decide what love means when it’s made of tide and light.
Can two souls from different worlds change a story the ocean has already written?

Every story in the Aileen series stands alone, yet each reveals another fragment of her eternal search for love among the stars.
Across galaxies and ages, one name keeps returning Aileen. She’s an alien wanderer, endlessly curious about the beauty and mess of human connection. Every planet reshapes her a little: a flash of neon light, the hush of waves against a forgotten shore, the quiet ache of a dying world. Through it all, she learns that love strange, fierce, imperfect is the force that binds everything together. What will she find at the edge of the stars when even forever begins to feel human?
