The Obsidian Tide: Keepers of the Abyssal Forge

Plunge into the chilling depths of a drowned world. Seventeen-year-old Lyric, a scavenger haunted by poverty, navigates the treacherous currents of a submerged metropolis, her life a precarious balance between survival and the ocean’s crushing embrace. Her search for rare obsidian pearls leads her to the Abyssal Forge, a dormant artifact of immense power hidden within a sunken temple.

With a touch, Lyric awakens the Forge, its dark energy surging through her veins, granting her the ability to shape weapons from the very essence of the ocean. But this newfound power comes at a terrible price. The ruthless Enclave, obsessed with controlling the ocean’s secrets, hunts her relentlessly. Simultaneously, Theron, a rival scavenger, sees Lyric’s power as a threat to his illicit trade, adding another layer of danger to her already precarious existence.

Alone and hunted, Lyric finds unlikely allies in Callan, a disgraced sailor seeking redemption, and Anira, a brilliant inventor whose family history is intertwined with the Forge’s legend. Together, they navigate mesmerizing kelp forests and underwater labyrinths, uncovering the terrifying truth behind the obsidian pearls and the whispers of Xalatha, the city lost beneath the waves.

They are not simply collecting trinkets; they are unknowingly weakening the prison of a monstrous entity, the leviathan, trapped within the deepest trenches of the Abyssal Sea. The Forge, they discover, is not a weapon, but a lock, and Lyric is not just wielding its power—she is unleashing the very evil it was meant to contain.

As the obsidian tide, a physical manifestation of the leviathan’s rage, begins to surge, Lyric must choose. Embrace the Forge’s power and risk becoming a destructive force herself, or relinquish it entirely, potentially sacrificing the world to contain the ancient horror. Her decision will determine not only her fate but the fate of the oceans, the balance of nature, and the future of a world teetering on the brink of an abyssal apocalypse.
