Most people believe the world works the way they’ve been told.

Florina Blanco did too.

At seventeen, she’s already landed a coveted position at a remote whale research camp in Alaska, working alongside two of the world’s leading scientists. Armed with logic and data, Florina is certain she understands how the natural world works.

Until it stops making sense.

When whale behavior shifts in ways no one can explain and communication with the outside world suddenly goes dark, Florina is pulled into a reality far deeper than the one she thought she knew. What begins as a scientific mystery quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

As she’s forced into a journey across Alaska’s wild and unforgiving landscape, Florina must confront the truth behind a growing force known as the Great Separation—a power threatening not just the whales, but the fragile connection between humanity and the natural world.

Meanwhile, out at sea, her mentors Liz and Bertha uncover evidence that something is deeply wrong in the ocean—and closing in fast.

To survive, Florina will have to question everything she believes, face the wound she’s buried, and discover what it truly means to be connected… in a world built on separation.
