Marked by the Flood

The ocean didn’t rise. It chose. After losing their parents in a crash that nearly drowned them, two brothers grow up carrying something impossible: the water marked them… and the mark awakened powers that can cut tides, silence storms, and carve breath from drowning. But gifts like this come with a cost, because the flood has learned to think, to wear familiar faces, and to write living people into doors. With their fierce aunt Talia as their protector, the boys fight to survive inside mountain holds, salt-ringed settlements, and ruins where gravity obeys the sea. Yet when Talia is touched by a spiral curse and a drowned city opens like a mouth, the brothers must make the kind of choices that turn heroes into monsters. Because in this world, the water doesn’t just take land. It takes names. And once it learns yours… it never lets go. Listen to Marked by the Flood: The Boys Who Wouldn’t Drown. A survival fantasy where the ocean has a plan… and your name is on it.
