Synopsis

What if fear itself is the deadliest undercurrent of all?

Nica would do anything to avoid the hassles of her sister’s bonding ceremony—the wrap fittings, hairstyles, and braided fire coral—but she never imagined that the waters covering her planet would be broken. As the heavens rained fire and stone, mountains erupted from the sea and dry ground was birthed on the Deep, dividing the water—and the Olomi people—for the first time in their history.
 
In the wake of her world’s violent re-formation, Nica’s family is shattered. When the rookie Guardian leaves the safety of the Deep to find her sister, she is abducted by strange landwalkers who possess strength and technology beyond her imagination. Nica realizes that the disaster from above was by their design—a calculated plan to terraform the water planet and conquer her people. All Nica wants to do is find her sister and swim home to safety, but with the landwalkers closing in, escape may not be possible. And if Nica can’t save herself, how can she hope to save her sister—or her people?

About The Author

Sophia L. Hansen, raised in the melded cultures of Korea and America, understands not fitting into society’s boxes. Born on a tiny island in Alaska, then growing up in New York City and Boston, she now resides in the Southeast, writing and editing between fresh(ish) cups of coffee and slices of crisp bacon. She embraces life with her husband, their adulting children, and her new grandson, but her favorites are Jesus, family, coffee, and dark chocolate, mostly in that order.

Goodreads review by Nathaniel on January 19, 2024

I absolutely loved this. Are we getting a second one? Is this a standalone? I want more of the story. It's a rough, harsh story filled with pain and loss. Hansen has a great writing style that worked perfectly for this setting. I hate to mention AVATAR, but if you liked AVATAR, this book should work......more

Very unique story. A little bit of a slow beginning but the characters I really enjoyed as well as the settings. A little more heartbreaking then what I thought it was going to be, but I really enjoyed it. I am happy with how it ended. I feel like there could be a sequel though to the story if the a......more
