The Water and The Teeth

Savannah was never supposed to drown.

When a catastrophic tsunami tears through the city, thirteen-year-old Omari is separated from his family and thrown into a version of Savannah he barely recognizes. Streets have become rivers. Homes sit half-submerged. Rescue feels impossibly far away.

His only constant is Hol' Fas', his loyal brindle dog, whose instincts may be the difference between life and death.

Then Omari learns they are not alone.

Four escaped tigers are moving through the flooded city, hungry, unpredictable, and close enough to turn every ruined building, rooftop, and stretch of water into a potential trap.

Omari has no weapon. No map. No adult coming to save him.

What he does have is a sharp mind, an ability to notice what others miss, and the determination to make it back to the people he loves. But survival becomes even more complicated when the dog protecting him could also be the very thing that gives away their hiding place.

The Water and the Teeth is a tense survival thriller about intelligence, instinct, loyalty, fear, and what a child can do when the world stops treating him like one.

For readers who love disaster fiction, animal survival stories, relentless suspense, and young heroes forced to outthink impossible odds.
