The Coral Sea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764340946)

Some dives change you, and some open worlds.

Marine archaeologist Liam Nelson and ER nurse Zara Scott-Nelson set out on their honeymoon to the Coral Sea expecting beauty, silence, and recovery after years of hard work. What they find instead is an unmapped lagoon, a singing current-and a vortex beneath the reef that should not exist.

Pulled through a breach in the sea, Liam, and Zara emerge on the shores of Aethelgard, a realm of impossible stone, ancient magic, and dangerous political intrigue. As strangers with knowledge from another world, they are hailed as healers, hunted as threats, and drawn into the court of a young king-and the shadow of a powerful magus who knows far too much about the vortex that brought them there.

When the truth of the rift is revealed, loyalty is tested, escape becomes survival, and a heartbreaking choice must be made about who can cross between worlds... and who cannot.

Blending speculative fantasy, science, and emotional depth, The Coral Sea Vortex is a sweeping tale of love under pressure, the cost of becoming someone new, and the dangerous question at the heart of every doorway:

If the sea gave you the chance to rewrite your life-would you dare to step through?

For readers of epic portal fantasy, intelligent adventure, and character-driven storytelling, this is the beginning of a world that refuses to stay closed.
