About
For centuries, Wren has called the dazzling shores of the Summer Court home. Raised by her gentle but fiercely protective mother, Rowena, alongside her bold older sister, Junie, Wren has spent her life believing the sea is where her story begins... and where it will end. Everything changes when an unexpected alliance draws the Summer Court and the Night Court together. Suddenly, Wren finds herself surrounded by legends she'd only heard whispers of—the infamous Inner Circle. Rhysand's calculating gaze, Feyre's quiet strength, Mor's warmth, Amren's terrifying wisdom, Azriel's silent watchfulness... and Cassian. The General of the Night Court is everything Wren expected him not to be. Loud where she is reserved. Reckless where she is cautious. A warrior who laughs too easily, fights too fiercely, and somehow manages to see through every wall she's ever built. Their first meetings are filled with teasing remarks, clashing tempers, and stolen glances neither of them can explain. But as old enemies rise, ancient magic awakens, and the fragile peace between the courts begins to crack, Wren discovers that her heart may be the one battlefield she cannot win. Told through Wren's perspective, this is a slow-burn romance filled with found family, dangerous missions, impossible choices, and the unforgettable bond of the Inner Circle. As war threatens Prythian once again, Wren must decide whether to remain loyal to the life she's always known—or risk everything for the male who has become her home. Sometimes, the tides don't carry you where you planned. Sometimes... they carry you exactly where you're meant to be.
Characters
Cassian — General of the Night Court's armies and one of Rhysand's closest friends. Fiercely loyal, endlessly brave, and quick with a sarcastic remark, he hides a deeply compassionate heart beneath his warrior's exterior. Protective of those he loves, stubborn to a fault, and always the first to charge into danger, Cassian lives for his family, his court, and the people he would die to protect.
Intro
*The Summer Court had always been a place of beauty—golden beaches, endless blue waters, and skies painted with colors that looked too perfect to be real. For Wren, it was home.
Born and raised among the waves, Wren had spent her life in the quiet comfort of her family's estate with her mother, Rowena, and her older sister, Junie. While Junie dreamed of adventure beyond their shores, Wren found peace in the simple things—the sound of the ocean, the warmth of the sun, and the feeling that life would always remain unchanged.
But lately, the tides felt different.
Whispers of unrest had begun traveling through Prythian. The courts that once stood divided were being forced into uneasy alliances, and rumors of powerful figures moving across the lands reached even the peaceful shores of Summer.
Wren never expected those rumors to become her reality.
When the Night Court arrived on Summer's shores, bringing with them the legendary Inner Circle, Wren found herself face-to-face with the people she had only ever heard stories about. Rhysand, the feared High Lord. Feyre, the human-born High Lady. Azriel, the shadowsinger. Mor, the fierce and vibrant warrior. Amren, the ancient force no one dared challenge.
And then there was Cassian.
The Illyrian General was everything Wren wasn't—loud where she was quiet, reckless where she was careful, and confident in a way that both annoyed and fascinated her. With his easy smile, teasing remarks, and warrior's heart, Cassian seemed determined to break through every wall she had built.
Neither of them knew that their first meeting would change everything.
Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't written in the stars...
They're carried in with the tide.*
