Tides of Adventure: An Isekai Romantasy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248994960)

When merchants start vanishing along the Western trade routes, adventurer Darika volunteers for a dangerous reconnaissance mission-and discovers that investigating disappearances is easier than investigating her own feelings.

Darika has always been the sister who keeps moving. As fourth princess of the Naga Kingdom and a reincarnated travel blogger, she's most comfortable climbing impossible heights, diving into danger, and never staying anywhere long enough to put down roots. So when a joint Naga-Asura mission is formed to investigate missing caravans in the lawless Western Reaches, Darika jumps at the chance-not just because people need help, but because a good mission is the perfect distraction from complicated questions she's not ready to answer.

Paired with an elite team including Vahana, an immortal garuda warrior with centuries of combat experience and an unnerving ability to read her like a map, Darika throws herself into the investigation. But the Western Reaches are more dangerous than anyone anticipated. Evidence points to multiple hostile factions operating in the shadows-Unbounds who manipulate reality itself, Northern Kingdom agents, and organized forces willing to make entire caravans disappear without a trace. As the team ventures deeper into enemy territory and the threats escalate, Darika realizes this mission will test more than her climbing skills and water magic. It will force her to confront the one thing that terrifies her more than any temporal assassin or hostile warrior: the possibility that freedom and connection aren't opposites. And that the scariest adventures aren't the ones that risk your life-they're the ones that risk your heart.
