The Saltwater Between Stars

When diplomat Caelan Kirks crashes into the depths of a forbidden ocean world, he is rescued by Thal’rys, an abyss-born warrior feared by the people above. As ancient leviathans die and human activity pushes the ocean toward collapse, they uncover the First Tide, a lost alliance between surface and deep. Their growing bond may offer hope to both worlds, but Caelan cannot return to the surface unchanged.
