“An atmospheric, satisfying YA sci-fi thriller”
– Guardian

“An ominous, evocative science-fiction thriller”
– New Scientist

Lily’s emotional problems run deep – three miles
deep.
After she gets kicked out of school for her destructive behaviour,
Lily agrees to an unusual fresh start: going with her mum to
live at Deephaven, an experimental deep-sea mining rig and research
station located at the bottom of the ocean.

Lily instantly regrets her decision: claustrophobic and isolated,
it’s hardly her idea of home.

Turns out, Deephaven has problems of its own. The head scientist,
they quickly learn, has disappeared – just as he was on the brink
of a shocking discovery. In the darkness of the deep, something
is stirring … something dangerous.

And it’s calling out to Lily.

struggle for survival – and the story of one girl’s path to
self-acceptance
