My dear,
You asked why I returned to the wreck. I have tried to give you an honest answer.
The truth is, I could not leave you to the tide.
Jack
You are not reading about the heroine
You wake on the coast of South Carolina with salt in your lungs, a name you cannot prove, and a wanted smuggler standing over you.
Each month, another piece of the story crosses the distance between you: a chapter, a private letter, and something Jack thought you should keep.
Open a beautifully made installment containing story pages, Jack’s sealed letter, and a physical clue or keepsake.
Choose one of two story paths, then send Jack a real letter in the enclosed prepaid return envelope.
Your next correspondence reflects what you chose—and the words you decided to share with him.
A monthly correspondence · assembled by handA story you can hold
Tidewater is designed around the pleasure of waiting for real mail: the weight of the envelope, the broken seal, the marks in the margins, the things that gather in a keepsake box over time.
Season one · The Carolina coast
Jack says he found you alone in the surf. The Governor’s men say he is a liar, a thief, and worse. Your only certain possession is a compass engraved with a crest no one will explain.
Give someone a world to enter
