About the Book

The Storm That Took Her

The sea took her.

It should have killed her.

Instead, it sent her back a thousand years.

When Coast Guard rescue swimmer and former Army medic Elara Quinn vanishes during a deadly storm, she awakens on the shores of a Viking settlement in the tenth century. Far from everything she has ever known, Elara must learn to survive in a world of raiders, longships, and ancient traditions while searching for a way home.

But the sea has other plans.

Strange storms gather beyond the horizon. Ghostly travelers appear within impossible waves. An ancient black ship rises from the depths carrying the memories of the lost. And everywhere she turns, the sea whispers the same name:

Tidebound.

As mysteries deepen and danger closes in, Elara finds an unexpected ally in Eirik, a respected Viking war leader haunted by his own past. Together they uncover clues pointing toward a forgotten legend, a vanished traveler, and a power hidden beneath the waves that threatens both their worlds.

The closer Elara comes to finding a path home, the more she realizes that some journeys change more than where you belong.

They change who you are.

Perfect for readers who love epic adventure, Viking mythology, time travel, slow-burn romance, and sweeping fantasy mysteries, Tidebound: The Storm That Took Her is the unforgettable first book in a saga where the sea remembers everything.

The sea had taken her. But it wasn't finished with her yet.

A modern Coast Guard rescue swimmer stranded in the Viking Age, caught between a living sea, a forgotten kingdom beneath the waves, and a love story that spans a thousand years.
