Echoes of the Sunken City

About this book

In the submerged remnants of a 22nd-century metropolis, society is strictly divided between the elite who live in floating, climate-controlled biodomes and the desperate masses scavenging in the flooded high-rises below. Silas Mercer is a cynical, ruthless smuggler and enforcer who long ago abandoned his morals—and his fiancée—to survive the brutal reality of the lower levels. His solitary, self-serving existence is completely upended when a routine extraction job leads him directly to Cressida Marlowe, the idealistic woman he walked away from a decade ago. Now a wanted operative for an underground resistance, Cressida is the Dome's most sought-after fugitive. Forced to choose between claiming the massive bounty on her head or protecting the only person he ever truly loved, Silas reluctantly hides her. As they navigate the treacherous, rusted underbelly of the city to smuggle her to safety, old wounds are torn open and long-buried affections reignite. Silas must confront the man he has become and decide if he is capable of devotion in a world designed to break it. Together, they embark on a perilous journey that tests the limits of their commitment, offering a fragile second chance at love amidst the decaying ruins of human civilization.
