About The Dark Tide
Each year, Caldella’s Witch Queen sacrifices a boy to prevent the island city from sinking. When the boy Lina loves is chosen, she offers herself in his place and waits for the full moon beside Queen Eva. As floodwaters rise, hostility becomes connection, leaving both girls to decide whether to save themselves, each other, or Caldella.
