The Rising Tide Shaara Novels & Stories

I don't know what I've done to deserve to stand here right now. Xavier grabs my hand, pulling me behind him, as he begins to walk through the forest. We come across a clearing, and a moment later, I find myself walking out onto a secluded white sand beach. The water is a clear aqua colour, and in the distance I can see the mountains. This must've been the view that I saw from my window. Little did I know that there was a private beach nearby. Instinctively I take my shoes off, running my feet through the sand. It feels warm and soft beneath my feet. Carrying my shoes, I walk towards the water, stepping in up to my calves. The water is warm, though still cool. It's nice and relaxing on such a

The pain of her losses was still fresh, but the promise of a brighter future was undeniable. As they arrived at the beach, Abigail felt a sense of freedom and joy wash over her. The waves lapped at the shore, a soothing rhythm that seemed to whisper words of hope and renewal. She glanced at her companions, at Liya, Whizz, Simon, and her children, and couldn't help but smile.

Marrine Child showed up on the steps of a tiny church, wrapped in blankets and left out in a raging storm. The nuns and Father Thompson took her in, raising her in the quiet seaside town of Port Haven. On the surface, she seemed like any other orphan—just a bit out of place, maybe. But there was more to Marrine. Her father was the King of the Deep, a powerful sea ruler set on taking her back, no matter the cost. She grew up under the watchful eyes of the church, soaking in the faith and warmth of her caretakers. As she got older, Marrine’s beauty stood out—though not nearly as much as her bond with Zeke Thompson, the priest’s son. The two of them grew up together, turning a childhood frie

The sound of a man who knew exactly how much a secret was worth. “You took your time,” the voice said. Marrow. Hearing him was like feeling an old scar start to ache again. “I had to make sure you weren't a trap,” I said, my voice like iron. “Dead men don't usually send signals.” There was a short, dry sound that might have been a laugh. “In Black Tide,” Marrow said, “it’s the dead men who usually live the longest.” I leaned back, my eyes fixed on the screen even though there was no face to see. Marrow never showed himself, he was a shadow among shadows.

The island rose out of the water, cruel and taunting. Sand that shifted with every heartbeat lay before them, a pitiless reminder of their fragility. Amelia looked over her shoulder at the rising tide, its waves hungrily curling toward them. They would have to move faster than ever. "This is where it starts," Gabriel's voice came as he began barking commands, his green eyes calculating, urgent. Amelia scanned the sands, watched them writhe and dance, an idea springing to mind. She knew it was risky, but she also knew she was right. Lucas challenged Gabriel with a snort, dismissing his plan: "Your way will get us all drowned." The tension between them snapped in the salty air. "We have to tim

My grandmother's handwriting was tight and urgent, written during one of her most intense visions. *The darkness awakens. It has slept for a century, gorged on stolen light, but now it stirs again. It will hunt the children of the moon. It will find them one by one and drain them until nothing remains but empty shells. Two wolves stand between salvation and destruction. Two Alphas, bound to the fate of the Lunar. One will fall. One will rise. And the wolf who carries moonlight in her veins will decide which fate comes to pass.* "This is about me," Sera said quietly.

Paul didn’t find out what Miguel said to her. Not the exact words. Not the specific shape of the threat. Valeria never told him the full details, and he understood, eventually, that this was because the full details were things she was ashamed of having been frightened by — that the shame of fear, when the fear is about someone else’s violence and not your own weakness, is one of the cruelest things about it. This silence left Paul feeling helpless and confused, struggling to grasp the depth of her pain and his own powerlessness.

Dressed in a magnificent ceremonial robe, Wendy walked slowly toward the altar under the envious gaze of the crowd. Suddenly, someone behind them shouted, “Look! What is that?” Everyone turned and saw a mass of black energy shooting into the sky. It grew larger and larger, until it seemed ready to swallow the sky whole. “This is bad. That’s demonic energy! The demon clans are invading! “Only the Demon Lord could possess such overwhelming power… Could it be that he’s escaped?”

Shen POV I found him exactly where I knew I would, at the edge of the shore, where the land met the restless sea. The tide had risen slightly since morning, creeping closer to the jagged rocks, waves folding into each other in a slow, steady rhythm. The sky above was pale, washed with a dull light that hinted at a storm, or perhaps something worse lurking beneath the clouds. The air was thick with anticipation, as if the world itself was holding its breath.
