Beneath the bruised cerulean of the Saltbone Archipelago lies a haunting beauty, a siren's call masking the sharp teeth of a world ruled by the ocean's whims. Fisherwoman Tarya Vyn, hardened by salt and sun, finds her life upended by a shard of black coral fused to a human bone. This is no mere trinket, but a key – and a curse – that binds her to the spectral Sunken Court, a council of drowned monarchs whose malevolence warps the vibrant reefs into grotesque shadows. Tides now obey her command, yet each surge tightens the ghostly chains of her servitude. Driven by ancient whispers and a terrifying power, Tarya must ally with a disgraced historian whose skin is tattooed with the secrets of a sunken world, and a child who holds an unsettling connection to the reefs. Together, they descend into the abyssal trenches, where the ocean's sorrow echoes and a forgotten evil threatens to shatter the fragile balance of their world. Will they unlock the secrets of the deep, or will they become another casualty of the cursed tides?
