Stories with magic in their bones

Every treasure leaves a trail. Some are written in blood.

Three months after arriving at Rising Tides RV Park, Sophie Bright has finally begun to believe she’s found something she hasn’t had in years: a place to belong. Now she is putting down roots and learning to scuba dive.

But during her final certification dive, she discovers a lost underwater camera tangled in the reef.

Less than twenty-four hours later, its owner washes ashore dead.

With Sergeant Dylan Wilder, her best friend Talia, and the unlikely family that has welcomed her into Rising Tides, Sophie follows a trail of recovered photographs, missing research, and whispered legends to an eighteenth-century shipwreck guarding one final secret.

As treasure hunters, ambitious scholars, and dangerous enemies converge on the same forgotten reef, the search leads to La Luz Perdida—a mysterious relic that has spent centuries waiting beneath the sea.

For some, the Lost Light promises fortune. For others, fame, power, or redemption.

For Sophie, the search will reveal just how far she’ll go to protect the life she has finally begun to claim—and whether she can survive the people willing to kill for The Lost Light.

The Lost Light is the second novel in the Rising Tides Mysteries, a coastal gothic mystery series filled with found family, hidden magic, slow-burn romance, and secrets waiting beneath the tide.
