Transformed by the Ocean Lifeform

Dr. Kellen Drake descends into the Abyssal Scar searching for proof of an ancient civilization, drawn by the same spiral birthmark that marked his late sister and the same dreams that haunted her until she drowned.

But at eighteen thousand feet, Kellen finds no ruins.

He finds a presence.

The trench awakens around him, currents tightening, spirals glowing from stone, and bioluminescent tendrils rising from the dark with ancient, deliberate intelligence. When his suit fails, the water doesn’t kill him. It accepts him. The creature beneath the Scar knows his markings, his bloodline, and the reason he was drawn here.

Claimed by a being older than human memory, Kellen undergoes a transformation that rewrites both body and purpose. The deeper he’s taken into the abyssal temple, the more he understands: this is not discovery but return. Not study but recognition. Not accident but destiny.

The ocean has been calling him home.

And it will not let him go.

A dark MM sci-fi monster romance featuring deep-sea possession, ancient ecosystems, biological awakening, forced proximity, and a sacred bond between a human diver and the entity that remembers him.
