When the research vessel Odyssey triggers a catastrophic, unnatural storm over a deep-sea trench, marine biologist Elara Vance is touched by the source: a terrifying, majestic entity rising from the abyss. Marked by its power and psychically linked to its ancient, slumbering consciousness, she becomes the sole witness to a truth that will shatter the modern world. The entity is not a monster, but a prisoner. Its mere dreams have caused centuries of ship disappearances and coastal legends. Now awake, its power is leaking into our world, warping reality and beckoning fanatical followers who believe it is a god. Hunted by a shadowy government agency that sees her as a threat and coveted by a cult that sees her as a prophet, Elara must race to uncover the truth behind the entity's imprisonment. She must decide if it is a destroyer to be silenced or a forgotten guardian to be freed, all while fighting to keep her own mind from being lost to the storm of its awakening.
