River’s Eye (Tidemarked Series)

River’s Eye (Tidemarked Series)

The River’s Eye is no ordinary gem. Forged in the cradle of the ocean where starlight met the first tide, it is said to pulse with the living memory of the sea itself. Crystalline and ever-shifting, its core glows with hues of deep blue, silver, and violet—like a storm caught beneath still waters. To the people of Azuethra, the River’s Eye is sacred. It blesses the royal bloodline with elemental gifts: water-bending, storm-calling, and the ability to speak to the tide. But its magic is not passive. It chooses. It watches. It remembers. Legends tell of the Eye stirring only when the balance of the realm is threatened. When it glows bright, tides rise. When it dims, kingdoms fall. Some say the Eye is a remnant of the First River, a primordial current that once bound all the elements together. Others whisper that it is a tear from the moon, fallen into the sea and turned to crystal by grief. But one truth remains: Whoever holds the favor of the River’s Eye holds the future of Xandos.
