Host of the Hollow Current - Paperback

When the oceans begin to rise, the world prepares for disaster.

What it gets instead... is transformation.

Cities drown not in chaos, but in pattern. People do not simply die-they change. Voices overlap, memories fracture, and entire populations begin to move in quiet, synchronized purpose. Beneath the surface, something ancient is waking-something that has been waiting since before humanity learned to name itself.

Daya Mercer is one of the last to understand the truth.

Earth was never just a planet. It was a seeded system-an oceanic intelligence dispersed through pressure, time, and flesh-waiting for a species capable of unlocking its final form. Humanity, with its mastery of DNA, has unknowingly triggered the rebirth.

Now the "hollowing" spreads.

Not possession. Not infection.

Replacement.

As winged abyssal forms rise into the sky and the boundaries between land, sea, and self collapse, Daya descends into the depths to confront the intelligence at its source-before the final transition reshapes life on Earth forever.

But some truths cannot be undone.

And some evolutions cannot be stopped.

Only... survived.
