he ocean remembers what we try to forget. In The Ocean Knew First, Cassian M. Daniels weaves a lyrical tale of grief, memory, and the healing power of time, set against the vast and eternal sea.

When love is lost and the heart is fractured, the tide becomes both a witness and a keeper of secrets. This deeply moving story captures the fragile beauty of memory—how it drifts, lingers, and resurfaces when least expected. With every wave, the characters are pulled between the past they cannot release and the future they struggle to embrace.
