As Below - Paperback

Two centuries ago, humanity was forced to choose: burn beneath the dying sun or descend into the depths to survive.

It was never a choice at all.

Now, twenty-six doomsday bunkers cling to seafloors, their cavernous tunnels stretching outward like the arms of a starfish-but Samara never chose this life.

Born below, she loathes her inherited existence. The buzzing fluorescent lights overhead, the void beyond the windows, the Warden's infinite rules, and the suffocating rhythm of repetition gnaw at her mind.

But Foxtrot is a haven under the sea so long as you do what you're told. So long as you don't question authority or have an Indicator. Breaking a rule isn't just dangerous, it's a depth-wish. And the Vat always collects its due.

Driven by grief and anger after losing a loved one, Samara breaks the Warden's ironclad rule-she questions the forbidden surface.

Her defiance doesn't spark a flame-it uncovers one that's been burning quietly for generations. For the first time, she holds the power to choose: find the truth or stay in the safety of silence.
