Some Waves Destroy. Others Carry You Forward.

In 2004, twelve-year-old Aallotar survives the Indian Ocean tsunami—but loses her parents, her brother, and the life she knew. Left far from home, she carries her grief in silence, along with a name that feels less like a title than a fate: Lady of the Waves.

Years later, shaped by loss and guided by purpose, Aallotar turns to science, determined not only to understand the forces that reshaped her life but to help prevent future disasters. As past and present converge, she must decide how much she is willing to risk—for connection, for love, and for change.

Spanning continents and years, Lady of the Waves is a deeply human story of survival that refuses to stop at endurance.

A novel of trauma, resilience, and learning to trust the future.
