About This Book
When seasoned underwater archaeologist Alex Carter receives a mysterious invitation to a top-secret expedition off a remote island, he thinks it's just another chance to uncover hidden treasure. But the invite is more than it seems — it's an urgent warning that the island holds a dark secret tied to a series of inexplicable disappearances. As Alex and his team descend to the wreck of a centuries-old shipwreck, they discover an ancient relic that seems to defy the laws of time and space. What was meant to be a simple excavation becomes a battle for survival as cryptic messages, unsettling artifacts, and hallucinatory horrors emerge from the deep, and the line between past and present begins to collapse. The island's secrets were never meant to be uncovered, and the relic carries a curse no one who sought it has lived to tell. Is this Alex's greatest triumph, or his last dive into the unknown?
Editorial Review
“Rivers plunges the reader into crushing darkness where the past refuses to stay buried. The deep-sea claustrophobia is relentless, the ancient-relic mystery genuinely unnerving, and Alex Carter makes for a driven, haunted guide into waters no one should disturb.”
Perfect for: Readers who love deep-sea adventure thrillers laced with ancient curses, time-bending mystery, and mounting dread.
