Her Vows Taught the Sea Her Name—Now Love Is the Only Lock

At a cliffside island where opulent weddings are the island cult’s favorite currency, a discreet luxury wedding planner realizes the vow cards she drafts aren’t poetry—they’re spells that feed something in the tides. The runaway groom she secretly loves is missing certificates, breaking laws, and leaving behind witnesses who swear their memories rearranged themselves around her handwriting. To stop the next ceremony from becoming a feeding ritual, she and him must investigate the “licensed” officiants and follow the thread of every vow she sold, each one now acting like a clue and a countdown. With each botched wedding, the sea grows keener—learning her name like a prayer—and the cult closes the net before either of them can choose truth over survival.
