CHAPTER 4 - The Junior Scholar
A junior scholar. Six months of forbidden translation. A supervisor’s hand closes on the page. Chapter four of Tidewater, and a new voice enters.

Tidewater is a serialized epic fantasy of grief, secrets, and a voyage toward something at the bottom of the Coast that has begun, after three centuries, to wake.

CHAPTER 1 - Grey Tide at Third Port
