Some secrets surface. Others pull you under.
Sophie Bright came to Rising Tides Landing RV Park looking for nothing more complicated than a place to park her camper, keep her head down, and figure out what comes next. At first glance, the small waterfront park on Seabreeze Key offers exactly that: weathered docks, swaying palms, eccentric long-term residents, and a spring-fed lagoon steeped in local lore.
Then a man is found dead in the mangroves.
Hidden among his things is a secret list of names, and Sophie's is one of them.
As suspicion spreads through the park, Sophie is drawn deeper into a community that feels stranger by the day. A missing traveler, a cryptic symbol left on the body, and the growing sense that everyone knows more than they are saying all point to something far more dangerous than one isolated murder.
As the questions deepen, Sophie begins to understand that Rising Tides is not just a refuge. It is something watchful, buried deep in the bones of the island long before she arrived.
And it didn't choose her by accident.
