The world has become one of firm, undeniable surfaces.
The year is set in the shadow of the visible horizon, a time when logic is the reigning deity and industry the only faith. For the land-dwellers of New Haven, the ancient power of the sea is nothing more than a bedtime story, a myth whispered by old sailors on dark nights. Humanity, anchored to the steady rhythms of the shore, had achieved a profound cultural ignorance: the Land believed in what it could build, measure, and control. The Sea was simply a vast, blue emptiness, rich in resources and devoid of magic.
They had forgotten the truth of the depths.
Now, that forgetting is over.
It is not a gentle meeting, but a dramatic, shattering collision. A young man, heavy with a family's buried secret, is about to confront the terrifying, beautiful truth that lies just beneath the waves.
The time for myths is over. The age of rediscovery has begun.
