by S.M. CampbellPublish: Dec 12, 2023FantasyBook Overview
Waterworld goes hardcore with steampunk style flair in the Eldritch Depths, a world of deep mysteries, divine disasters, and daring exploits. Bloody, spicy, and dark fun awaits on the open waters of the Swell."This series has earned auto-buy status for me." ~ Colin J.D. Crooks, Author of The Shards of Etherious series
Centuries ago, the gods of earth and sea went to war and ravaged the worlds of humans. Now, the oceans have swelled and humans have made their homes on floating cities, using precious enchanted sea glass as the key to their survival.
Vila is one of those survivors, fighting every day for control in this brutal world as a Blue Lady and prize fighter in the Lower Planks. But when a strange corruption seeps through the waters of the Planks, Vila must find allies in an unlikely group to help the people she loves.
Narrio is a master thief, making his way on wits, charm and luck; until a secret cult recruits him for a mysterious mission. Now he must travel to the Planks for what may be his most dangerous heist yet.
But things lie below the surface.
Something is coming, and it threatens the existence of all.
When the moon rises, the seas will change, and nothing will ever be the same.
Welcome to the world of the Swell.

"I’m excited to see the Swell unfold as Campbell writes more books. His voice is yet another boon to the world of indie fantasy; a story told on his terms, and his alone.
Corrupted Tides is a banger of a novel." ~ Stephen Blumberg, author of The Eldritch Saga series
"Come for the world that Campbell has obviously spent countless hours crafting and enriching, stay for the adventure." Lauren Cipollo, coauthor of Parallax
