Book Description
In a drowned world where fresh water is currency and floating cities wage silent wars, rogue salvage-boat captain Cael Draven smuggles a mysterious stowaway aboard his vessel—only to discover she holds the coordinates to the last freshwater aquifer on Earth. Maren Voss is a fugitive scientist who designed the very rationing system that's killing thousands. Now hunted by the elite Tidecaller sent to erase her, she and Cael must cross pirate-infested waters, outrun a military fleet, and confront the ghosts of their pasts. With every faction on the ocean wanting her dead and the fate of humanity sealed beneath six hundred meters of water, trust becomes more precious than the resource they're fighting for. A story of redemption, survival, and the terrifying courage it takes to love someone in a world that punishes hope.
