SPRINGTIDE

A HOME IN ASHES,

A FATHER IN CHAINS,

A GIRL WHO REFUSES TO GIVE UP.

When imperial soldiers burn down her home and drag her father away, nine year old Brina Springtide learns a brutal truth: there is no one left to protect her. Abandoned and alone, Brina is left to navigate the cutthroat streets of Doorstep’s Ditch surrounded by criminals, drunks, and imperial guards. 

With hunger squeezing at her throat, Brina strikes a devil’s bargain with a cruel apothecary. Deep in the wilds, she is to retrieve a branch of the fabled sleepthorn. Sweltering jungles and treacherous peaks await.

As Brina battles wampyr, wights, and griffins in her quest to survive, dark questions emerge. Why did her father really vanish on those nights she thought he was hunting? What secrets did he keep? And most painful of all – will she ever see him again?
