Defeated. Discredited. Forgotten.
But whatever they say, Rowan Reed is not a quitter.
Life hadn't treated Rowan kindly but with a sudden opportunity to research an oceanic anomaly, she takes a leap of faith into the cold depths of the Atlantic to restore her good name.
Can she navigate the web of lies and conspiracy while the unknown reaches for her from the deep? Is her psyche strong enough to endure the horrors beneath? Who is the man on the radio?
Can she get out alive before it's too late?
Welcome to the tale of survival, a tasteful blend between horror and mystery, with a dash of romance. But, beware, gentle reader, once you choose to follow Rowan through the Deep Dark Blues...
There will be no coming back...
