Nilo Harland

Nilo Haven is fifteen, and he used to race the tide like it was a friend he could outrun. The ocean raised him, shaped him, taught him how to breathe deep and laugh loud. But ever since his dad died in a storm three years ago, Nilo won’t step near the water. He watches the waves from a distance now, hands in his pockets, pretending he doesn’t miss the world he once belonged to. The sea hasn’t forgotten him though. And sooner or later, it’s going to call his name again
