Sergeant Nix Marr is a damn good soldier, but she’s desperate to leave her haunted past in the bioluminescent ocean, buried alongside old friends … and old flames.
Unfortunately, even the icy ocean can’t extinguish some fires. When Kessandra, everyone’s favorite princess — and Nix’s loathed ex — requests Nix’s help investigating a massacre in the abyssal city of Fall, Nix refuses. Vehemently. But Kessandra always gets what she wants.
Consigned as Kessandra’s bodyguard, Nix grudgingly boards a luxurious submersible that offers the only transportation to Fall. It’s frustrating, irritating, how quickly Nix and Kess fall back in sync — much as she tries to fight, Nix can’t deny their spark. But Kessandra wasn’t truthful –surprise, surprise — and Nix quickly realizes their “investigation isn’t about the massacre, but rather what caused it: an illness that incites its victims into a violent craze.
When another royal is brutally murdered, it becomes apparent the disease has spread — and no one on the submersible is safe. Suddenly, survival hinges on trusting each other, which would be a hell of a lot easier if Kessandra didn’t keep lying. Injured, fighting for their lives, Nix has to decide if she can trust Kessandra again … and what she’ll lose this time.
