Run for your life, or die trying.

The sea always takes something.

For Captain Hal Stonebrook, a routine fishing trip aboard the Elusive Destiny turns into a nightmare when something unnatural rises from the depths—something that refuses to stay caught.

What begins as a strange catch quickly becomes a fight for survival as an unrelenting predator stalks the ship, learning the crew’s every move.

And it has no intention of returning to the depths. The ocean wouldn’t claim it if it did.

Trapped on their ship with something that adapts faster than they can think, the crew becomes prey in a brutal game of survival where the rules are constantly changing, tight corridors turn into slaughterhouses—and the body count is rising.

Because if this thing reaches land—

Destiny, Maine won’t stand a chance.

Perfect for fans of:

• Creature horror

• Ocean-based terror

• Survival thrillers

• Fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat short reads

Brace yourself for a chilling descent into the unknown—where the line between hunter and prey vanishes once it reaches the surface.
