Lanterns & Lures

Under a sun, two brothers sail a world that has forgotten its own history. For Shaydlee and Rashy, life aboard their small ship, Blue, has always been simple-survive the heat, avoid trouble, and protect the strange Lantern that has watched over them since childhood. But when the Lantern awakens with new light and unfamiliar power, their quiet existence is shattered.

Drawn toward rumors, dangers, and places no map acknowledges, the brothers soon find themselves hunted by those who fear the Lantern and those who desperately want it. Ancient stories begin to surface-stories about realms once connected, and a force determined to keep them apart. Shaydlee, guarded and steady, carries the weight of who he was before the ocean remade him. Rashy, clever and not entirely human, is beginning to sense truths about himself he isn't sure he wants to know.

As they follow the Lantern's pull toward the notorious Rust Line, the world grows stranger, harsher, and more alive than they ever imagined. Bonds are tested, secrets rise, and their choices will shape more than their own fates.

Filled with adventure, heart, and the unbreakable loyalty between two brothers, Lanterns & Lures begins an epic journey about family, identity, and the power to bring divided worlds together.
