ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 26, 2026
While raised in the shadow of a motorcycle club, Maddox was unaware that a boundless oath protected him. But on his tenth birthday, tragedy tore his world apart when gunfire erupted and a disastrous accident took place on a bridge, sending Maddox over the edge and into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
He should have died.
Instead, something in the water saved him.
Now without his protectors, Maddox spends the rest of his childhood running from his past and into a newfound family that he never saw coming. Even though they hold the broken pieces together with the tender thread of healing, none of that stops the ancient hold that followed him from the Atlantic.
Maddox’s grief hardens him into a dangerous, scorned young man who continues to be tethered to a mystical presence waiting beneath the tide.
His past refuses to stay buried because the ocean never truly let him go.
And neither did she.
•••••
REVIEW:TETHERED BY THE SEA is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult SALTBONE SINNERS MC dark, touch of mythology series co-authored by India R Adams, and Nikki Landis. TETHERED BY THE SEA introduces Maddox ‘Johnny Watts’ Gentry.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. Although most of the characters are under the age of eighteen, TETHERED BY THE SEA is intended for adult readers.
Told from first person perspective (Maddox aka Johnny) TETHERED BY THE SEA covers approximately eight years in the life of Maddox ‘Johnny Watts’ Gentry. In the wake of his father’s murder, and the murder of several members of his father’s Saltbone Sinners MC, Maddox Gentry and his grandmother Noma went on the run but life was once again about to spiral out of control landing Johnny Watts in the foster care system where he will remain until the past returns.
The world building introduces the people in Johnny’s life-his fellow foster brothers and sisters, the couple who taught the ‘family’ to love and move forward but Johnny aka Maddox was determined to get revenge for every betrayal and pain suffered by the family at the hands of so many others.
There is a large ensemble cast of heart breaking secondary and supporting characters, most of whom found a home and a family with foster parents Dale and Harmony Weathers: Ethan, Gage, Finn, Caleb, Sarah and Blue. I am hoping the author has plans to reunite Maddox’s family of the heart.
TETHERED BY THE SEA is an emotional story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, murder and madness, grief and loss. The character driven premise is detailed, dramatic and dark; the characters are broken, determined and intense.
