Lord Connell Abalone is many things: wealthy, influential, handsome—and deeply in love with his wife. But the one thing he never expected to be is a traitor. When he discovers a group of starving fugitives hiding near his home, he knows at once who they are: keepers of a forbidden religion who call themselves Tiding Bearers. Despite the danger, the captivating truth of their message fills Connell's heart with hope, and he accepts the role of Chronicler. Yet persecution shakes his faith, and soon he finds himself desperate for certainty amid unpredictable times, prompting him to seek counsel from a legendary sacred oracle: the Verity Glass. But its power comes at a price.
Forty years pass, and the Tiding Bearers are at last free to practice their religion. But faith feels like a cruel joke to Benjamin, who watches his devoted sister succumb to a crippling illness that’s slowly stealing her memory. When he discovers a remnant of a sacred oracle in the journal of an old Chronicler, Benjamin sees his chance to save Zadie’s life. But twin thieves Tallulah and Seb hijack his quest before it even begins, seeking their own answers from the Verity Glass. Forced to work together, the two pairs of siblings search through abandoned temples and face the dangerous trials that guard the remaining pieces. With life and loyalty on the line, what will they choose when the mirror exacts its price.
Past and present weave together in a dual-timeline adventure connected by the long-lost mirror which will put every character to the test and prove the wisdom of the Giver’s ways. Tides to the Sea is the first in the epic Christian fantasy duology, Guardians of the Light.

An imposter rules the throne. A prophecy remains unfulfilled. The light is nearly gone.
In the kingdom of Tenebra, allegiance to the true King has been all but obliterated by a jealous rival. Only a handful of faithful subjects remain to challenge his authority and spread the truth; these are known as the Tiding Bearers. But after years of brutal slaughter, the rebels are hardly more than a legend and nothing stands between the false ruler and his ultimate victory—until a new generation takes up the cause and the world is thrown into a violent struggle between truth and deception.

The greatest mysteries are those of the heart…
As a rhetoric and debate professor at the kingdom’s best (and only) university, Nelius has never met a problem he can’t solve with logic and reason—until the day he’s accused of stealing a priceless artifact. Banned from campus and desperate to reclaim his honor and save his career before his debts come due, he’ll do anything to prove his innocence. Even if it means working with an unreliable scrolls and chronicles professor…
Seraphine has one last chance to prove she’s capable of handling the grueling schedule of a professor. If she can impress the headmaster with her historical research, perhaps she’ll finally shake her unfair reputation for being unambitious and unreliable. But when the most crucial document to her studies is suddenly stolen, she’ll have to forge new alliances and face old foes.
When the investigation uncovers a conspiracy buried in the city’s dark history, Nelius and Seraphine are thrust into a web of lies that will force them to rethink everything they once believed about those they trust—and about each other, proving that the biggest mysteries are those of the heart.
