About this audiobook
Marco Reyes, a brilliant 17-year-old ocean-chemistry student in Cartagena, has spent years studying the coral reef he knows better than anyone. But his meticulous research changes nothing. Lucía Castillo, a free-diver his age, understands the reef differently—through instinct, experience, and her deep connection to the sea and her grandfather.
When Marco is offered a lucrative advisory position that could pull him away from the crisis, Lucía challenges him to act rather than compromise. Together, they confront threats to the reef, including ocean acidification and a dangerous dredging operation, while navigating the difficult realities of activism, truth, and first love.
Set against the warm Caribbean landscape of Spanish-speaking Cartagena, this third book in The Reckoning series explores how scientific knowledge and lived experience can work together. It is a standalone young-adult climate story focused on environmental action, courage, and a romance built on honesty.
