BLEACH

The world you inherit is the one you fight for.

Cartagena, Colombia, the near future. Seventeen-year-old Marco Reyes has all the answers. A marine-biology prodigy, he can recite the chemistry of a dying sea from memory — and he's certain that if people just saw the data, they'd act.

Then the reef he's studied his whole life starts to die for real, and a glittering resort empire moves to bury the evidence under a cloud of dredged silt. Marco's airtight science gets him laughed out of the room. It takes a fearless free-diver named Lucía — who trusts the sea more than any instrument — to teach him the hardest lesson a scientist can learn: being right is not the same as being believed. To save the last living patch of reef, Marco has to stop proving he's smart and start fighting smart.

A thrilling, romantic, sharply intelligent graphic novel for readers 13–17 about ocean acidification, coral restoration, and the limits of data in a fight for hearts. Grounded in real reef science and the real pressures facing the Caribbean coast. Book Three of The Reckoning, in the Climate Keepers universe.

Includes a "What Is Real" facts section and a "You Are a Keeper Now" call to action.
