From the Lustrous Depths (Foundation of Lies)

By Brennan C. Adams

Long ago, the world broke. The ocean rose, and billions died in its wake. The few who survived were left to rebuild beneath the waves.In Hekili, humanity persists despite difficult circumstances. Pryions sustain their human partners in harsh surroundings while luminous reefs keep the ocean's monsters at bay. Guilds provide the rigid social structure needed in a nation ever on the brink, but three people are about to destroy those rules.When a disaster wipes out her town, Lanai undertakes a perilous journey to the capital. By bringing the King details of what killed her home, she hopes to stop the tragedy from occurring again.Kira serves as the heir to the throne while her brother completes his proving journey. When he unexpectedly comes home, not only does his return shatter her, it raises questions about the ocean's surface, a place lost to myth. Is reaching it feasible, and if it is, why has no one done so?Stuck in a profession he never wanted, Aumol wonders if he'll ever accomplish his secret purpose. When his brothers disappear following an expedition into old-world ruins, he leaves home to find them, but a journey he thinks will last hours turns into one of days, a trip to meet people he never thought to encounter.Three lives with the lowest odds of converging but something binds them. When they meet, the foundation of lies on which Hekili rests will crack open.
