Description

A thrilling futuristic adventure set deep undersea, *Dark Life* follows the settlers of the world's first subsea settlement as they defend their homesteads against a brazen band of outlaws. Set in an apocalyptic future where rising oceans have swallowed up entire regions and people live packed like sardines on the dry land left, *Dark Life* is the harrowing tale of underwater pioneers who have carved out a life for themselves in the harsh deep-sea environment, farming the seafloor in exchange for the land deed. The story follows Ty, who has lived his whole life on his family's homestead and has dreams of claiming his own stake when he turns eighteen. But when outlaws attack his homestead, he finds himself in a fight to save the only home he has ever known. Joined by Gemma, a girl from Topside, Ty ventures into the frontier's rough underworld and discovers some dark secrets to *Dark Life*. Secrets that threaten to destroy everything.

Description

When fifteen-year-old Ty, who has always lived on the ocean floor, joins Topside girl Gemma in the frontier's underworld to seek and stop outlaws who threaten his home, they learn that the government may pose an even greater threat.
