Changing Tides: Unexpected Perils

by Chase Taylor

In the quiet, worn halls of the Pembridge Estate for Lost Children, young Miadi, a reclusive wildorn, finds herself among a group of orphans, each with their own pasts and dreams. There’s Magnus, a towering half-giant with a gentle heart, and Ignatia, a blazekin struggling to control her fiery powers. Together, they learn that life here depends on both friendship and caution. Under the watchful but caring eye of Miss Guinevere, they tackle daily routines and strict rules, each clinging to the hope of finding a real home someday.

Yet as strange happenings and whispers begin to unsettle the children, they can’t help but wonder if something more is at play beneath the surface of the orphanage. And when their time to leave arrives, what waits for them? Peace, adventure—or something unexpected?

Changing Tides is a story of friendship and courage, set against a quiet mystery, exploring the strength it takes to face the unknown—and the bonds that can make even the loneliest places feel like home.
