The Coral Archive
by Brinda Phokeerdass

In the drowned cities of Mauritius, memory is dangerous-and the coral remembers everything.

Kiara Lagoune, an apprentice archivist, believes her job is to preserve approved history. But when she discovers a living coral that sings in forbidden rhythms and whispers the names of the erased, her world fractures. Beneath the floating skylines and sterile preservation laws lies a suppressed truth: the ocean has become a living archive of rebellion, sorrow, and defiance.

As the authoritarian Preservation Bureau moves to cleanse the reefs and silence the voices rising from the deep, Kiara must choose: protect her family's legacy of forgetting, or join a secret network of memory-keepers and ignite a cultural uprising carried not by weapons-but by song, dance, and the pulse of the sea itself.

In this visionary eco-fiction novel blending ancestral memory and speculative future, The Coral Archive is a haunting anthem to resistance, reclamation, and the unstoppable power of story.

We do not forget. We resist. We sing.
