LEVIATHAN ACADEMY
Some bonds were never meant to be chosen.
The oceans rose without mercy, swallowing continents and rewriting the map of human survival. Now the last fleets cling to engineered strongholds above an abyss few dare to study because something vast moves in the darkness below.
When seventeen-year-old Hailey Vale, a salvage diver from a forgotten scrap colony, recovers a forbidden artifact pointing to an uncharted trench, she is taken without warning to Leviathan Academy a brutal military institution where students are trained to bond with the largest creatures ever known.
Most candidates were born for this.
Hailey was not.
At the Academy, survival is never guaranteed. Bonds fail. Minds fracture. And those who cannot synchronize with their Leviathan rarely get a second chance.
Then the impossible happens.
An Apex Leviathan - a creature so massive entire fleets alter course to avoid it surfaces from the deep and chooses her. But something is wrong. The creature is not hunting. It is listening.
As Hailey struggles to survive the Academy's ruthless training, she finds herself locked in a volatile rivalry with Josh Rourke, a prodigy bred for command who believes civilization can only endure through control. Yet beneath their conflict lies a growing truth neither of them can ignore:
The Leviathans are not the greatest threat rising from the ocean.
And whatever is stirring in the trench... already knows her.
Perfect for readers who crave the immersive wonder of epic fantasy and the relentless tension of survival thrillers, Leviathan Academy is the beginning of a sweeping new saga where loyalty is fragile, power has a cost, and the future of humanity may belong not to those who rule the seas, but to those who dare descend into them.
