What the Tide Demands

In a desolate coastal village, Elias is the Shearer, tasked with carving flesh from his people as a holy offering to a god of the sea. But when his newest subject, the eerily calm Claire, stares into his soul during the bloody ritual, he begins to unravel a conspiracy of adultery, murder, and the monstrous entity sleeping beneath the waves. The shearing is not for salvation; it's to feed a hunger that will soon drown them all. Elias must choose between his blood-soaked duty and a truth more terrifying than any blade.
