When I first imagined Echos of the Tides, I didn't see a ship.
I saw silence.
A vast sea… full of stories no one dared to speak.
This novel was born not from action or power fantasies — but from a deep place inside me that yearned for freedom, for forgotten names, and for the sound of waves that carry secrets.
Kai Reven isn't just a character.
He's every person who has ever stood on the edge of something unknown… and taken that step anyway.
This story is about courage,
but not the loud kind.
It's about the quiet courage of broken people who still believe something lost can be found.
As you journey through this world — past storm-wrapped islands, spirit-forged bonds, and shadows that whisper — I hope you feel the same wonder I felt while writing it.
I'm not asking you to sail with me.
I'm just hoping…
you let the tide pull you in.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
The sea remembers.
