Man of the Depths

MaNameIsJeef
Man of the Depths: ​Deep in the cosmos, a peaceful civilization of "Sea-Men" was shattered by a celestial cataclysm. Only a handful of survivors managed to reach the nearest blue sanctuary: Earth. But Earth’s savage oceans and its terrestrial inhabitants were anything but welcoming. In one tragic night, these advanced refugees were brought to their knees by an unknown force lurking in the abyss. ​Years later, on the shores of the Caribbean, a deathly pale infant is found and raised with love by a local man. Nico, a boy gifted with extraordinary intelligence and a degree in Biology, harbors a dark secret: despite living on an island, he possesses a paralyzing, instinctive fear of the water. ​When poverty and his foster father’s failing health push him into a corner, Nico is forced to make the most dangerous decision of his life—an illegal migration across the sea. But as the ship capsizes in the heart of a storm, Nico realizes that his lifelong fear was actually a warning. Now, he must choose between his human identity and the legacy surging through his veins to survive a world where predators await him both on land and in the deep.
