Secrets of the Void
Ellie was created in secret as a perfect clone of a powerful woman long dead. For years, she knew only sterile walls, the touch of cold instruments, and the voice of the scientist who molded her into something useful and obedient.
Until the day she opened her eyes and met Proteus, the sea's first son. Once a ruler of the depths, Proteus has spent centuries imprisoned by those who feared him. Now freed, his vengeance is as vast as the ocean itself.
He plans to reclaim his dominion and drown the world that betrayed him, using Ellie, the clone who carries the face of his enemy, to do it. However, the more time he spends with her, the more his carefully built hatred begins to unravel.
Ellie isn't just a tool; she's clever, defiant, and heartbreakingly alive. Proteus—ancient and merciless—finds himself wanting her more than he wants his revenge. Together, they could end humanity or save it.
