What He Keeps: A Story Set Between Two Worlds

WHAT HE KEEPS
When Arin Valverde, a Spanish solo sailor, sets out from the port of A Coruña in Spain and disappears in the Atlantic, the world assumes the sea has taken him.
It hasn’t.
Rescued into Thalasene—a hidden civilisation beneath the sea—Arin survives. But survival comes at a cost. Returning home would require him to surrender every memory of what he has discovered, including Lira, the woman who saved him. And the longer he remains, the more impossible it becomes to return.
Above the surface, his family continues to wait.
What He Keeps is a literary speculative novel about memory, belonging, and the price of staying true to who you are.

Not every love is meant to be kept.
Some are meant to be remembered
