“Don’t.”
“Come on,” he murmured into her ear, his breath hot against her skin. “Let’s just do it. Let’s jump.”
“I can’t.” She closed her eyes, breathing in the feel of him, the way his body felt against hers. She could feel the heat from his chest through their clothes.
“Do it with me,” he implored, his voice deep and rough and scratchy, just as she remembered it from home. “It’s easy.”
“Stop it, Felix,” she whispered.

Felix and Leila are Children of the Waves. Born and raised on the stormy coast, they are tied irrevocably to the sea, just as they are tied to each other.
But tragedy tears them apart, changing both their lives forever.
Leila’s fame follows her at every turn, while Felix becomes nothing more than a ghost, deadly and invisible.
In a corrupt and violent world they are each recruited for their skill and courage by the elusive leader of the rebels, a man haunted by his own destructive past, forcing Leila and Felix to face their fears – and each other.
Together, they will do whatever it takes to fight for freedom.
They will become anything – even Shadows.
