If survival required you to surrender every memory of who you used to be, would you choose to forget?
Arin, a Spanish sailor on a transatlantic voyage, disappears at sea and survives what should have been impossible.
When he wakes, he finds himself in Thalasene, a hidden civilisation beneath the ocean that has survived for centuries by remaining unseen.
Thalasene does not conquer or expand. It survives through restraint. Its people live by strict rules, carefully guarded boundaries, and controlled memory. Nothing that threatens the balance of their world is allowed to leave a trace.
But Arin creates a problem the system was never designed to handle.
He remembers.
As Arin tries to understand this strange new world, he also begins to form a bond with Lira, the woman who rescued him. What begins as compassion slowly becomes something deeper—and far more dangerous.
Arin is caught between two worlds.
Above the ocean are his family, his past, and the life he left behind.
Below it are Lira, a world unlike anything he has known, and the possibility of a new life.
But he cannot have both.
As the people of Thalasene struggle to protect their civilisation, Arin must face a question with no easy answer: How much can one life matter when an entire civilisation is at stake?
Not every love is meant to be kept. Some are meant to be remembered.
WHAT HE KEEPS is a literary speculative novel about memory, identity, love, belonging, and the difficult choices we face when everything we care about cannot remain with us.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
