Seventeen-year-old Krescent Dune is buried under the weight of her dead parents' debt and the ruinous legacy they left behind. The only way she can earn enough money to escape her unforgiving island is by battling monstrous creatures in an underground fighting pit.
After a fight goes terribly wrong, she's banned from the pits. Now hopeless, she is offered a deal: in exchange for the erasure of her debts, she must join and protect a hunting party for a rescue mission deep within the mining caves beneath the island.
Krescent is determined to keep her head down and fulfill her role as the dutiful bodyguard, even though she is trapped underground with her childhood enemy and a company of people who would gladly kill her if they knew who her parents were. As the group comes across creatures she believed only existed in legends, it becomes clear they are in far more danger than she could have imagined.
But someone doesn't want her to make it out alive. And she'll have to figure out who before she's left alone ... in the dark.
"Somewhere in the Deep is packed with heart-pounding fights against vicious monsters. Kress is a reluctant heroine who is easy to cheer for as she claws her way out of the death pits and encounters unfathomable horrors in the depths below. A thrilling and imaginative read!"?Judy I. Lin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Book of Tea duology

Using the pseudonym Dark Dancer, 17-year-old Krescent Dune is forced to fight monsters in underground gladiator-esque battles to pay off the debts her dead parents left behind. Orphaned at the age of 11, Kress has been determined to earn enough silver to leave the isolated island of Kar Atish and make a new life for herself outside of the shadow of her parents’ nefarious reputation. But when she’s promised her freedom for a steep price—guarding a search-and-rescue mission into dangerous tunnels for survivors of a mine expedition who have been missing for almost a year—she soon uncovers ulterior motives related to zargunine, a precious alloy and the building block of Kar Atish society. With only her hostile crew to watch her back as they encounter mythical monsters, Kress must do everything she can to survive the horrors and the revelations that await her deep in the mines. Berwah (Monsters Born and Made) skillfully examines issues of class, colonialism, and greed via the narrative’s attentively rendered setting in this thrilling, action-packed fantasy. Kress is a fierce heroine whose budding romance with a longtime friend adds hope and levity to dire situations, making for a page-turning adventure. Ages 14–up.
