Into the Burning Deep

Hadestown meets Titanic in this lush sapphic retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, set on a boat quarantined at sea until an infection of magic can run its course. This is the story of a girl who lived in another world on the other side of an infinite sea... Adrian Nix has lived her entire life at sea. A refugee of a war that claimed her homeland and infected her people with dark magic, Adrian now works as an oil-splattered mechanic aboard The Lyre. She dreams of the day she can finally set foot on dry land―a day that inches closer as the ship’s years-long anti-magic quarantine finally comes to an end. But everything changes when Adrian meets Ophelia Jones. The captain’s sister and a notorious party girl betrothed to a wealthy governor, Ophelia is everything Adrian isn’t. As the unlikely duo grows closer, Adrian and Ophelia discover a deep, forbidden connection that feels bigger than the confines of The Lyre.
