The Salt-Kissed Carver: A Story of Grief, Art, and the Sea That Remembers

Seventeen-year-old Elira Vos is the last of the Salt-Kissed Carvers—women who transform emotions trapped in sea-salvaged objects into healing furniture. But when her mother vanished six months ago, leaving only a cryptic note and an unfinished rocking chair, Elira stopped carving. Now a desperate boy arrives with his dying sister's locket, begging Elira to carve the joy back into it before the full moon. If she refuses, an innocent child dies. If she agrees, she must confront the forbidden truth her mother discovered: carving your own grief demands a price, and the sea always collects its debts. With her family's workshop threatened and her own pain threatening to drown her, Elira must choose between the safety of numbness and the terrifying risk of feeling everything—before the tide claims what remains of her legacy.
