The Shadow Worlds - Waters of No Return (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183541656)

On Melorai, the water is dying-and with it, an entire world.

As the oceans retreat and millions of Thalyari flee toward Earth, the crown city of Atlantis Prime clings to order, treaties, and the fragile hope that politics can outlast despair.

Darym, navigator and son of a dying planet, senses early on that Melorai is not merely drying out. Something is moving in the darkness far below the surface, and within the currents lies a whisper that does not belong to this world. When the first harbors fall, systems fail, and Thalyari begin turning into "carriers," one thing becomes clear: this is no natural disaster. It is an attack wearing the face of one.

Then Jax Mercer resurfaces-with a warning no one wants to hear:

PRAE is back.

And this time, it is not coming for a city. It is coming for what everyone is meant to become.

Waters of No Return is a dark techno-horror descent into refugee crisis, underwater noir, and an intelligence that has learned how to live inside the human mind.
