Submerged: The Trident Crown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235604308)

SUBMERGED: THE TRIDENT CROWN

The ocean has been hiding more than the dead.

When a classified experiment links the Bermuda Triangle to the Drake Passage, the sea fractures-and ships, aircraft, and an entire research platform vanish into the same impossible coordinate.

Dr. Leila Marquez is pulled into the crisis after receiving evidence that her father, presumed drowned twenty-five years earlier, may still be alive inside the breach. He was not merely an oceanographer. He helped create Project Atlas, a secret program designed to locate a submerged civilization hidden beyond ordinary space and time.

To find him, Leila joins a recovery mission aboard the experimental vessel THALASSA. Alongside a disgraced naval commander haunted by the lives he could not save, a brilliant physicist linked to an evolving artificial intelligence, and a sailor who returned from the anomaly without aging, she crosses into a world where gravity lies, memory can take physical form, and the lost have built a civilization beneath a black sun.

At the center of that world waits the Trident Crown-an ancient living system capable of controlling memory, matter, and time.

Governments want to weaponize it. A forgotten population wants to use it against the surface. And something vast beneath the city has begun to awaken.

As coastlines collapse and the boundary between worlds starts to fail, Leila must decide whether humanity can be trusted with the power to command the ocean-or whether survival demands a sacrifice no person has the right to make.

A cinematic science-fiction thriller blending deep-sea horror, government conspiracy, Atlantis mythology, temporal mystery, and a battle over who has the right to control the future.
