At the Southernmost Academy for Young Ladies, seventeen students are synchronizing-moving in perfect mathematical harmony, dreaming the same dreams, becoming vessels for something vast and inhuman.
Six teachers uncover the truth: beneath the Academy, a consciousness older than time is stirring. The coral foundation is alive, dreaming, and it wants to be remembered.
To save their students, the teachers must join their minds to the reef itself, binding flesh and spirit to a living ocean that does not forgive. Blood creates the bond. Coral provides the anchor.
A literary horror novel of sacrifice, cosmic dread, and love that refuses to be calculated-
because the sea keeps what it loves.
