A dying ship. A drowned city. A mission that has already happened.
Salvage pilot Ilyra Venn has spent her life earning enough flight credits to escape Pelagos, the vast ocean city built above the ruins of a forgotten war. Then she recovers a flight log recorded in her own voice-warning her not to take a mission she hasn't flown yet.
Hours later, Ilyra is aboard the experimental Calyx with engineer Soren Kade, six hours of air, no permission to return, and a destination hidden under the city.
What waits there is bigger than time travel.
The war that made Ilyra an orphan was never the first history. Her dead sister may still be alive. And the system protecting Pelagos has been saving millions by quietly sending disaster somewhere else.
Now Ilyra must decide whether any timeline deserves to survive-and make the choice before her last breath.
For readers who love mind-bending science fiction, survival thrillers, buried conspiracies, and impossible moral choices.
