The Ocean's Embrace (Caleb Thorne Isolation Trilogy, #3)

Caleb Thorne survived the island. Barely.
But survival is not return.
Adrift on the open ocean with only a wild dog for company, Caleb's final test isn't physical-it's spiritual. The sea is vast, brutal, and hallucinatory, threatening to drown not just his body, but the fragile threads holding his mind together. And Echo, the dog who became more than a companion, is the only presence anchoring him to what remains of himself.
Rescue doesn't bring peace. Civilization is too loud. The past is too quiet. Caleb's trauma doesn't make sense to a world that moved on without him, and neither does his bond with a wild animal. The hospital sterilizes his body. The media distorts his soul. And society wants Echo caged-or gone.
In The Ocean's Embrace, Gregory Parrott delivers a searing conclusion to the Caleb Thorne Isolation Trilogy, exploring what it means to come back from the brink. This is not a story of return. It's a reckoning. A last stand for memory, grief, and the one creature who stayed.
Some losses never leave you.
Some bonds refuse to break.
Some silence, you carry home.
