Thalassophobia A tale from the world of Etherius

In the crushing depths of the Holohonu Trenches, Katari survives the only way she knows how by sheer, stubborn refusal to die. She slithers through drowned cities and forgotten ruins, living on what the sea providesHer only constant companion is Karson, a cryptic spirit bound to her,

Katari wields a rare power to shape and manipulate living flesh. It is both her weapon and her only salvation.

But in the festering web of politics that strangles the drowned empire, survival alone is not enough. Blood clouds the water, and If she is to endure, Katari must carve something greater from her flesh, even if it means surrendering what remains of her soul.
