As if there weren't enough monsters in the deep, now Grace has to work beside one. Beneath the surface of Oceanus, Grace Monrow spends her days in an underwater city working within the rigs, hoping the place doesn't flood and drown her in her sleep. Then a vrisha comes to the city, forcing workers out of their substation for some secret mission. Rumors about the lethal alien are enough to scare even the bravest, but the company needs a volunteer to maintain the station. Grace is the lucky chosen. Twisted horns, red eyes, dark fangs. When she encounters the real-life space devil, she's a little freaked. She also comes to find him arrogant, impatient, and stubborn. Yet, oddly mesmerizing. She knows he has no interest in humans, yet he's willing to be near her, even to talk. His weirdly intense stare makes her wonder what he's really thinking. Working with him could be dangerous.
