Wake of the Drowned World

About this book

In a brutally unforgiving future where the oceans have swallowed the continents, humanity survives on jury-rigged floating atolls facing constant starvation and elemental fury. Silas Corwen, a hardened veteran of the original catastrophic sea-level rise, serves as a grim mentor to the desperate youths of the Oakhaven flotilla. When a lethal toxic algal bloom threatens their fragile existence and the ruthless Magistrate Vespera Calloway monopolizes the only functioning water purifiers, Silas must prepare his impulsive protégé, Kaelen Rhys, for the violent realities of survival. The present crisis is interwoven with the tragic past of Dr. Aris Pender—a marine biologist who foresaw the collapse thirty years prior but was silenced by corporate greed. As Kaelen is forced to abandon his naive dreams of a mythical dry-land sanctuary, he and Silas must orchestrate a bloody uprising against Vespera's heavily armed elite corsairs. Bound by the sins of the past and the desperate hope of the future, the community must adapt to their poisoned tides or perish beneath them.
