The ocean keeps its dead-or so we believed.
A year after the San José was lost to fire and myth, Isabella Miró launches a secret expedition into forbidden waters. With only a reliquary, a gold coin, and a memory that won't die, she heads into the depths where no charts dare go. Divers descend into silence-and return with something impossible: wreckage bearing her lover's mark.
Then the unthinkable: Rafael is alive. Shattered, delirious, and barely clinging to sanity, he is found on a forgotten island, saved by strangers and lost to himself. Their reunion is raw, emotional, unfinished. Because the wreck calls to them again-this time with a voice from the past, and a warning they cannot ignore.
Beneath the ocean floor lies a vault that could rewrite the history of a continent. But storms are rising-above and below-and not everyone wants the truth surfaced. Rafael gives her his medallion, his legacy, and one final question: What are you willing to sacrifice to remember the dead?
