"We all get what we deserve."

In the depths, Mattie Gibson feels infinite. There is no barrier between her, the water, and the universe. Returning souls to the vast expanse of nothingness is the only way to heal the festering wound inside of her. It grows like an urge, rotting within, begging to be unleashed;

To drown them.

Those undeserving to breathe.

He is a cosmic agent of death, fueled by rage and the darkness at the core of all humanity. Burning through any and everything he touches, Ripp's mission is to force gratitude for every ounce of oxygen in the lungs of those he encounters.

Until her-his queen of Death.

Ripp sees the beauty beneath Mattie's chaos, her monster matching his very own and his darkness drawing her in, threatening to trap her in his all consuming void. Mattie is the only one who can unravel him, who can bring him to his knees-for he knows he cannot have her, not without snuffing out her light.
