After the publication of his masterpiece of political theory, Leviathan, Or the Matter, and Power of Commonwealth Ecclesiastic and Civil, in 1651, opponents charged Thomas Hobbes with atheism and banned and burned his books. The English Parliament, in a search for scapegoats, even claimed that the theories found in Leviathan were a likely cause of the Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666. For the modern reader, though, Hobbes is more recognized for his popular belief that humanity's natural condition is a state of perpetual war, with life being "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Despite frequent challenges by other philosophers, Leviathan's secular theory of absolutism no longer stands out as particularly objectionable. In the description of the organization of states, moreover, we see Hobbes as strikingly current in his use of concepts that we still employ today, including the ideas of natural law, natural rights, and the social contract. Based on this work, one could even argue that Hobbes created English-language philosophy, insofar as Leviathan was the first great philosophical work written in English and one whose impact continues to the present day.

At the end of The Godless, Mireea lay in ruins, the dead of the city had risen as ghosts, and the keepers Fo and Bau had been slain by Zaifyr. The Mireeans have now fled to the city of Yeflam with the immortal Zaifyr in chains to barter for their safety. With the threat of war arriving at the Floating Cities, Zaifyr's trial will become the center of political games. However, Zaifyr is intent on using his trial to begin a new war, a motive that many fear is an echo of the dangerous man he once was. Ayae, a young girl cursed with the gift of fire, sees a chance to learn more of her powers here in the floating city, but she is weighed down by her new responsibilities regarding the safety of the Mireean people. Across the far ocean, exiled Baron Bueralan and cartographer Orlan have arrived in the city of Ooila with some chilling cargo: the soul of a dead man. As the two men are accepted into the city's court, they are pulled ever deeper into the Queen's web of lies and deceit. All the while, a rumor begins to spread of a man who has come ashore, whose seemingly innocent presence threatens them all.

The Leviathan is the vast unity of the State. But how are unity, peace and security to be attained? Hobbes's answer is sovereignty, but the resurgence of interest today in Leviathan is due less to its answers than its methods. Hobbes sees politics as a science capable of the same axiomatic approach as geometry: he argues from first principles to human nature to politics. This book's appeal to the twentieth century lies not just in its elevation of politics to a science, but in its overriding concern for peace.

In the crushing darkness of the Mariana Trench, a city whispers. Iridessa, a marvel of bioluminescent coral and geothermal energy, has thrived for millennia, hidden from the surface world. But the ocean keeps secrets poorly. Five years after the inexplicable loss of his research vessel, Dr. Kael Niretti returns to the trench, drawn by anomalous energy readings. He seeks answers, and he needs Elara Vance, a cryptographer whose fascination with ancient oceanic myths borders on obsession, to find them. Their descent into the abyss aboard the *Chimera* reveals a breathtaking spectacle: Iridessa, a city of light in a realm of eternal night. But their arrival awakens the Leviathan, a colossal being of bio-engineered flesh and bone, guardian of the trench and a force of nature. Its awakening throws the delicate balance of the ocean into chaos. Within Iridessa, Councilor Valerius wrestles with the Leviathan's wrath. Ancient prophecies speak of divine retribution, but Kael and Elara offer a different explanation: Iridessa’s energy source, the very heart of the planet, is disrupting the delicate balance of life. The Leviathan’s code is not a threat, but a desperate plea. Trapped between ancient traditions and scientific revelations, Kael and Elara race against time to convince the council that the Leviathan is not their enemy, but a key to their survival. They uncover a hidden archive, revealing a forgotten civilization’s catastrophic misuse of geothermal power – a chilling echo of Iridessa’s present. They must re-establish a symbiotic connection with the Leviathan, a connection severed by centuries of ignorance, before the ocean’s delicate ecosystem collapses. As the council prepares for a ritualistic sacrifice, Valerius faces an impossible choice: uphold tradition or embrace the science of the outsiders. His decision will determine not only Iridessa’s fate, but the future of the ocean itself. Dive into the depths of 'The Leviathan's Whisper' and uncover a world of ancient secrets, scientific marvels, and the desperate fight for a symbiotic future. Will humanity listen to the whispers of the deep, or repeat the mistakes of a forgotten past?

The ocean is waking. And it remembers everything. Dr. Maya Currents has spent three years as a Covenant Keeper, building fragile peace between humanity and the mer-people. Exhausted from preventing wars and mediating conflicts, she wants nothing more than to catalog ancient ruins in peace. But when her deep-sea research station detects a rhythmic pulse from miles beneath the ocean floor—a heartbeat that synchronizes with her own—everything changes. The Leviathan has awakened. Fifty thousand years ago, this distributed planetary consciousness granted sentience to the mer-people in exchange for a sacred covenant: tend the ocean's balance or lose consciousness forever. For millennia, the mer-people kept their Bargain faithfully. Then humanity appeared—a second sentient species that never agreed to stewardship, that pollutes and exploits and destroys with exponential efficiency. Now the Leviathan judges whether consciousness itself deserves to continue. Its verdict: both species face extinction unless they can prove cooperation is possible. The price? Two volunteers must merge their consciousnesses permanently, creating a hybrid being called the Keeper Eternal—a living bridge between species that will maintain the covenant for centuries. The merger will erase individual identity completely. One body will die. The surviving consciousness will belong to neither species. Maya volunteers as the human component, knowing it means her death as an individual. Kael, a mer-warrior who has fought beside her for years, volunteers as the mer component, knowing he'll lose everything he is. But as military hardliners develop weapons to destroy the Leviathan, as radical factions from both species plot to prevent the merger, and as Maya and Kael undergo the agonizing preparation rituals that slowly dissolve their individual identities, they discover the true cost of their sacrifice: Eternal isolation. Centuries of service with no one who understands them. The burden of being a bridge that everyone crosses but no one truly sees. They will become something unprecedented—powerful, necessary, and profoundly alone. As the merger date approaches and opposition intensifies from all sides, Maya and Kael must answer the question at the heart of consciousness itself: Is it worth giving up everything you are to save everything you love? A dark fantasy epic exploring sacrifice, consciousness, and the ultimate price of cooperation—where cosmic horror meets environmental fable, and two souls must merge to save two worlds.
