The story

The deep keeps what it takes

When salvage-diver Lyra is press-ganged aboard the Crimson Serpent, she expects to die in irons. Instead she finds a captain with a drowned man’s eyes, a crew bound by an oath older than the tide, and a chart to something the deep was never meant to give back.

From the smuggler-port of Mariner’s Hollow to the storm-black Shattered Straits, Echoes of the Serpent is a slow-burn tale of treasure, treachery, and the kind of wanting that pulls you under.
