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' attacks on government
supply ships and settlements... ... threaten to
destroy the underwater territory, Ty finds himself in a
fight to stop the outlaws and save the only home he has ever
known. Joined by a girl from the Topside who has come
subsea to look for her prospector brother, Ty ventures into
the frontier's rough underworld and begins to discover some
dark secrets to Dark Life. As Ty gets closer to the
truth, he discovers that the outlaws may not be the
bloodthirsty criminals the government has portrayed them as.
And that the government abandoning the territory might be
the best thing for everyone, especially for someone like Ty,
someone with a Dark Gift.
