Some boundaries were never meant to be crossed. Others were meant to be transformed.

The walls between worlds are crumbling in Azure Bay.

When children begin disappearing from this picturesque coastal town, lighthouse keeper Elara Winters discovers a terrifying truth: the boundary between our reality and another dimension called Tideshift is weakening. As the only person who can perceive both worlds simultaneously, Elara must embrace her family's legacy and a transformation that challenges everything she thought she knew about herself.

But she isn't fighting alone. The town's seven hereditary Keepers—guardians of ancient sites that maintain the boundary—must overcome generations of distrust to work together as the fabric of reality fractures around them. Among them is maritime archaeologist Nathaniel Carlisle, whose scientific skepticism crumbles in the face of undeniable phenomena... and his growing feelings for Elara.

Meanwhile, across the boundary, an entity known only as the Collector has noticed our world. It preserves unique consciousnesses as perfect specimens, and the wonder-filled minds of children make ideal additions to its ever-growing museum of experiences.

As Azure Bay becomes the battleground between worlds, Elara faces an impossible choice: maintain the boundary as her ancestors did, or establish a new kind of connection that honors the distinction between realities while allowing beneficial exchange. Her decision will reshape not just her own destiny, but the very nature of the threshold between worlds.

In this mesmerizing sequel, N.K. Orion weaves:

A breathtaking exploration of consciousness and perception beyond physical limitations
Rich, atmospheric worldbuilding where reality itself becomes fluid
Heart-wrenching choices between duty, sacrifice, and transformation
A unique magical system grounded in the natural boundaries of our world

THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER'S LEGACY illuminates the profound truth that boundaries don't just separate—they define, connect, and ultimately transform those who guard them.

Perfect for readers who love the atmospheric wonder of Erin Morgenstern's The Starless Sea, the reality-bending elements of Stranger Things, and the emotional depth of V.E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

Can Elara become what her heritage demands—not just a keeper of walls, but a guardian of bridges?
