The sea remembers what we try to forget.
In The House at Tide's End, Mara inherits a remote coastal house perched on a causeway that vanishes at high tide - a place her family has guarded for generations, and a responsibility no one ever explained.
When the tides begin rising too early and voices move through the walls, Mara discovers the truth behind her mother's death and her aunt's isolation: the house is not a home, but a boundary. Beneath it waits something ancient, patient, and hungry - a presence bound by ritual, flame, and sacrifice.
As the sea pushes closer and the past resurfaces, Mara must decide whether to continue a legacy built on fear, or break it entirely - even if doing so costs the house, the dead it contains, and the last illusions of safety.
Atmospheric, mournful, and quietly terrifying, The House at Tide's End blends coastal folk horror, supernatural dread, and literary grief into a story about inheritance, choice, and what it truly means to let something go.
Some houses protect you from the sea.
Others keep it fed.
