About This Book
Six books into the Alexis Silver series, Rain and Cox send their paranormal protagonist somewhere few heroes ever go — the ocean floor, where an ancient, crumbling civilization is fighting a war it can't win. What starts as a deceptively routine CIA errand spirals into something far larger and stranger, as Alex discovers that the world's deepest waters hide secrets even the merfolk have chosen to avoid. The stakes feel genuinely high here: not just survival, but identity, belonging, and whether one person can matter in a conflict older than human memory.
What distinguishes this entry is how confidently it expands the series' world without losing sight of its central character. Rain and Cox balance underwater mythology and action-driven plotting with the kind of grounded, sharp-edged voice that has always made Alex compelling company. The pacing never lets the novel's considerable length feel like weight — scenes build on each other with real momentum, and the Atlantis setting is rendered with enough specificity to feel lived-in rather than decorative. Readers already invested in this series will find it deepens what came before; newcomers will find themselves wanting to go back to the beginning.
