He is one of the Ốẚḡenn, a seafaring people who age a single year for every ten that pass, and for three centuries he has hidden in plain sight as a sea captain and the head of a shipping family on the South Carolina coast. He also guards a secret men have killed for: a ring of terrible power, one of four scattered across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis semi-immortal brother has wanted that ring since the night Nathanael took his eye. He no longer answers to the name they shared as boys. He is El-Jy'een now, and when darkness falls he leaves his own body to hunt as a black jaguar. To force the bargain he has always craved, he seizes the one thing Nathanael cannot replace-his son-and names his ransom: the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathanael gathers the few he trusts: his wife, an aging Lowcountry lawyer, and a Gullah guide who knows every bend of the black-water rivers. Together they mount a desperate rescue through the marshes and ruined rice fields of the Carolina coast. But recovering his son proves only the beginning. To learn what his brother truly wants-and what the ring was made to do-Nathanael must sail across the Atlantic to a blind Oracle on a distant cliff, whose answer is worse than losing a son and older than his brother: a reckoning a hundred years away, and a price that must be paid now to meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweeping from a great earthquake to a killing hurricane, from the black-water rivers of the Lowcountry to the wild edges of the Old World, \u003cem\u003eThe Ốẚḡenn: Turning the Tide\u003c\/em\u003e is an epic historical fantasy told in the spare, understated style of Ernest Hemingway, for readers of Matt Haig's \u003cem\u003eHow to Stop Time \u003c\/em\u003eand Shannon Chakraborty's The Adventures of \u003cem\u003eAmina al-Sirafi\u003c\/em\u003e, in the sweeping tradition of Ken Follett and Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
