She was afraid of the water...
until it became her only way home.
Dawn has spent her entire life running from one thing-deep water.
The nightmares never stopped. The fear never faded.
But when a cruel prank sends her beneath the surface, she doesn't come back to the world she knows.
She wakes in Creed.
A place where forests breathe like machines...
where creatures are part plant, part metal, part nightmare...
and where an unseen Queen controls everything.
Hunted from the moment she arrives, Dawn is forced to rely on a group of strangers-
a warrior of living wood, a deadly woman of scales, a man who is many,
and a boy who is not entirely human.
But as the truth behind Creed begins to unravel, Dawn discovers something impossible:
The Queen isn't magic.
And Dawn may be the only one who can stop her.
To escape, she must face the one thing she fears most-
or lose everything... including the people she never meant to love.
And when the water calls her back-
She may not be coming alone.
