The Drowned Archive (The Climate Archaeologist Series, #1)

The rising tide will take everything... unless an ancient civilization holds the key to survival.
Climate collapse isn't a future threat for Dr. Maya Chen. It's the force that drowned her hometown. A marine archaeologist specializing in ancient adaptation, Maya returns to the waterlogged ruins of Port Harbor, taking a job to survey the devastation for a powerful, private corporation. But this isn't just a salvage operation. Beneath the waves, Maya finds evidence of an impossible civilization from 8,000 years ago-a culture that faced rapid sea level rise and left behind technology that defies explanation.
This isn't just history. It's a protocol. An ancient scientific solution to a planet in crisis.
As Maya and her team of brilliant but unconventional scientists begin to unravel the implications-living technology capable of massive carbon capture-they discover the corporation wants this knowledge for itself. They aren't seeking solutions; they're seeking control, willing to silence anyone who stands between them and power.
From the submerged streets of her past to hidden sites across the globe, Maya follows the trail of the drowned archive. With the planet unraveling faster than anyone predicted, the race to unlock the secrets of the past will determine not just who lives, but who decides who deserves to survive.
A thrilling journey into the deep past to save the near future.
