Description

The world drowned without warning.The first Abyssal Surge cracked the Pacific shelf—and from that trench came more than water. Cities sank. Civilization collapsed. And from the depths rose something stranger: dungeons, pressure-forged monsters, and a new kind of power.

Now, humanity survives atop drowned skyscrapers and rebuilt sea towers. Delvers—awakened individuals bonded to the ocean’s pressure—are the only ones capable of entering the underwater dungeons and surviving the crushing depths.

Thomas Kane was never supposed to be one of them.

Just another Diver scraping by on the edge of civilization, Thomas’s life is upended when a routine salvage mission goes violently wrong. Dragged beneath the sea by something ancient, he drowns—only to awaken with glowing eyes, black sclera, and power pulsing beneath his skin.

He was supposed to die down there. Instead, he came back changed.

In a world where everything sinks eventually, Thomas Kane is about to learn what it means to survive.

Or to evolve.
