Growing up, I used to read Cosmo with friends at sleepovers. Back then, becoming an author was a faraway dream. It feels extremely full circle—and surreal—to say that my book is featured there now. You can read an exclusive excerpt from THIS RAGING SEA below🖤🌊 www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainmen...

In a stunning new debut, De Elizabeth is taking us under the harsh waters to find out what secrets are hidden beneath them.

Patiently waiting for the “bring back yearning” crowd to find This Raging Sea because Finn Adler basically has a PhD in yearning. He literally studies physics magic so he can rearrange time and protect the girl he loves in every universe over and over… even if he knows how it always ends 🥺

On the last day of pride, I’m thinking of teenage me who kept so much inside. In less than 3 months I will become a published author, writing books with bi characters. Every word I write is for the girl I used to be—and for anyone who hasn’t found their voice yet, but still deserves to feel seen.🩷💜💙

De Elizabeth @wordsbyde.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

My personal author goal in every book is to write a plot twist that hits as hard as “Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you.”

Most of what comes out while drafting is just the bones of the story. But every once in a while you write a banger line that you know will stay with you all the way until it becomes a book.

De Elizabeth @wordsbyde.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Whenever someone asks what I’m most excited for people to experience in my debut this year, I always try answer with something serious or emotional but what I really want to say is “the 26-word chapter that was originally labeled in my scrivener as ‘absolute chaos.’” 😇

This raging sea now available for preorder

About This Raging Sea:

18-year-old Briar Winters must untangle the horrifying eldritch secrets of her picture-perfect coastal town in order to save the boy she loves after he disappears from time itself in this YA dark fantasy for fans of Bly Manor.

Historic Loch Creek is a witchy New England tourist trap—but it’s just a trap for Briar, who’s convinced she’ll die there among the waves that devoured her twin brother thirteen years ago. But when her best friend who she's loved since childhood, Finn, vanishes from the seaside carnival, there’s only one person who can help Briar find him: Morgan, her biggest enemy who knows her darkest secret.

As Briar uncovers hidden truths as deep and dark as the water that haunts her, it quickly becomes clear that Finn has gone much further than anyone could have imagined. He’s lost in time, and neither of them are safe. If Briar and Finn look too hard, they might find terrifying answers—not just about what’s buried beneath the shores, but also the threads tying them to each other. As past and future collide, the seductive yet evil underwater entity that intends to claim Briar still needs its sacrifice . . .

And it’s too hungry to go unsated.

Equal parts epic bisexual romance and pulse-pounding horror, This Raging Sea is a dual POV dark fantasy as sweepingly powerful as the ocean that threatens to consume everything and everyone Briar has ever loved—prepare to be devoured.
