The Girl Who Broke The Sea
The Girl Who Broke the Sea is my debut novel, I hope you like it!
After being kicked out of school for her destructive behaviour, troubled Lily agrees to an unusual fresh start: going with her mum to live on Deephaven, the world’s first experimental deep-sea mining rig and research station located at the bottom of the ocean.
Lily instantly regrets her decision: claustrophobic and isolated, it’s hardly her idea of home.
Turns out, Deephaven has problems of its own. The head scientist, they quickly learn, has disappeared - just as he was on the brink of a shocking discovery. In the darkness of the deep, something is stirring… something dangerous.
And it’s calling out to Lily.
A mind-expanding thriller set in the ocean’s depths, a terrifying struggle for survival - and the story of one girl’s path to self-acceptance.
