Thrown Overboard, Bound to the Tide God
Thrown into freezing black depths by her treacherous fiancé, the betrayed sea captain struck a mystical blood pact with an imprisoned ocean deity.
In the secluded French countryside, orphan artisan Ysera carves delicate parchment lampshades inside an abandoned vineyard manor, harboring solitude after years of displacement. Her peaceful sanctuary shatters when George arrives from Bordeaux to investigate his deceased father's forgotten ties to the estate. As provincial families entangle themselves in bitter arranged marriages and clandestine passions, a young bride-to-be dies violently during a torrential downpour, with local authorities quickly ruling her death a mishap.
Refusing to accept the convenient cover-up, Ysera and George join forces to reconstruct the victim's final hours across the misty valley. Their quiet inquiries provoke dangerous pushback from prominent town families desperate to bury scandalous debts. Navigating simmering village hostility, the duo must pierce through generational deceptions to bring peace to the valley and revive the barren soil.
