The Story
The floating city of Pelagia has drifted across the Azure Basin for centuries, a sprawling metropolis of coral towers, lantern-lit markets, and iron storm barriers. But beneath its peaceful surface, the ocean hides an ancient and terrifying secret.
Malcolm Grant is a disciplined archivist who lives in the quiet safety of the city's historical records. Lincoln Doyle is a stormwarden, a living conduit bearing lightning scars who anchors the city's magical defenses. They have nothing in common-until a string of inexplicable deaths strikes the harbor.
Victims are turning up burned by chaotic storm magic, but the lightning isn't falling from the sky. It is rising from the sea.
As Malcolm traces the origin of dangerous ancient relics being dredged from the deep, she is forced to ally with Lincoln, whose own magic is violently reacting to an unknown force far below the seabed. Together with a reckless deepwater diver, they must descend into the crushing depths of the Tidemire tunnels, uncovering a buried sanctum that predates human civilization.
What they find isn't a ruin. It is a prison. And the seal is beginning to crack.
Full of elemental magic, deep-sea mystery, and thrilling investigative twists, Embers Beneath the Tide is a breathtaking oceanic fantasy that will drag you into the treacherous, beautiful depths.
