Hundreds of years ago, every leader of the world agreed to unite under the Seven Continents, forming a single global nation known as Donseten, ruled by President Agerstaf.
Now, everything is falling apart.
Most people want to return to the old world order-seven separate continents, seven independent powers. Everyone, except the President. In punishment for their defiance, he prepares something far worse than separation: the destruction of Donseten itself.
His solution is survival... underwater.
The Acren-a vast submerged refuge built to house humanity as the surface is wiped clean-becomes both prison and shelter, forcing millions to watch their world disappear above them.
But there's something he never told them.
Something buried beneath control, silence, and fear.
Catelyn is one of those forced beneath the waves. But when a carefully planned chain of events is set into motion, everything changes. Alongside Ace-and a growing circle of unlikely allies-she is pulled into a fight far bigger than survival.
Their mission is no longer just escape.
It's reclamation.
Because they are Surfaceborn, and will do anything to get what they had back.
