"‘Dark Tides’ carries a meticulous swell of horror, mystery, and science fiction through powerful world-building, foreboding dread, and a ruinous buffet of human emotion. A tsunami of panic, desperation, and sorrow choke every page, while the hopeful light of his central characters weaves through the marauding doom like the shimmering edge of an eclipse."

After somehow surviving the long, dark night, Tarlo fell to a new world.
Here on Alantia, things are different.
The colonists live in advanced skybases, the air is breathable, and the environment a far cry from the deadly sands of Cahros – in fact, Alantia is covered by a single, planet-spanning ocean.
Still clinging to dreams of discovering new life and hoping to prove himself once again, Tarlo volunteers to join a deep-sea expedition. Just as they reach the depths, a new discovery changes everything, setting into motion another desperate race for survival.
There’s something down there… in the deep…
