The Hollow Tide (The Blackwater Coven Book 4)

Some grief should stay buried.Blackwater survived by forgetting.For generations, the covenant beneath Saint Agnes kept the sea quiet through sacrifice, silence, and the belief that fear could protect the town from whatever waited below. But now the dead are returning, the lanterns are failing, and something ancient beneath the tide is beginning to remember Blackwater again.As the town fractures beneath waves of violence, emotional collapse, and impossible revelations, Rowan Blackwood uncovers the horrifying truth behind the covenant’s history: Blackwater was never preserving its people. It was teaching them how to survive without grief, without attachment, and eventually without themselves.But the sea has been listening.And far beneath the drowned streets and forgotten tunnels beneath Blackwater, something vast is waking to the sound of human loneliness.As the boundary between individuality and assimilation begins to dissolve, Rowan must confront an impossible choice:continue the cycle that kept Blackwater alive,or allow the tide to rise and reveal what humanity buried beneath itself long ago.The Hollow Tide is a dark gothic horror about grief, emotional inheritance, sacrifice, and the terrifying consequences of communities built on suppression instead of healing.Perfect for readers who love:atmospheric coastal horrorcosmic gothic fictionemotionally intelligent horrorslow-burn psychological dreadstories in the style of Mexican Gothic, Our Wives Under the Sea, and The Fisherman.
