By @Yury Chaves
In the opulent, whispered corridors of the Deepness, Elias Thorne, a reclusive billionaire whose every calculated move ripples through the global economy, finds his meticulously ordered world intruded upon by Dr. Vivian Holloway. A brilliant art historian specializing in taboo expressions of desire, Vivian is drawn into Thorne's orbit by an enigmatic commission.
