Adult Fiction Series

The Glass Tide

A lonely marine research assistant is assigned to a vast underground tank containing Asterion-9, a sentient deep-sea organism too intelligent to be treated as an animal and too inhuman to be safely loved. As pressure, water, and forbidden recognition replace the failed rituals of human intimacy, she must decide whether escape is rescue, surrender, or the beginning of another form of life.
