Captain Elias Vane, feared across the Sapphire Belt for his black-flagged ship and silver-cut smile, had seen more blood than moonlight. But it was on a windless night, with sails limp and stars sharp as blades, that he first saw her—rising like a ghost from the depths, her hair a current of shadow and her eyes brighter than any treasure he'd ever plundered. She called herself Lyra, born of the ocean’s trenches where sunlight dared not swim. Her voice carried the hush of deep tides and the ache of forgotten shipwrecks. To Elias, she was magic. To her, he was warmth in a world of cold pressure and silence. They met where the water kissed the sky, where their fingers could almost touch. But the sea has rules, cruel and old. He belonged to the surface, forever tethered to wind and wood. She belonged to the depths, bound to a kingdom without stars. And though their love was real, their worlds never touched. Not truly. Not enough. Not yet.
