Centuries after the oceans boiled away, the salt flats of a dead seabed stretch to every horizon. Echo hunter Tarn Harker has spent his life scavenging fossils and fragments from the ruins of a drowned world.

Centuries after the oceans boiled away, the salt flats of a dead seabed stretch to every horizon. Echo hunter Tarn Harker has spent his life scavenging fossils and fragments from the ruins of a drowned world. But when his battered detector picks up a persistent signal-one that thrums with eerie purpose-he knows it is no echo. It is a summons. The trail leads Tarn and a ragtag crew across scorched deserts into the abyss of a long-buried trench, where they uncover the Ardent, a research vessel impossibly preserved beneath the salt. Its corridors hum with forgotten power, its logs whisper of experiments gone wrong, and its sealed chambers conceal something alive... and waiting. As the signal grows stronger, the crew realizes they haven't found a relic of the past, but a gateway to something far older-and far more dangerous-than humanity itself. What began as salvage becomes survival, and what waits in the salt sea may not let them leave. Atmospheric, relentless, and infused with cosmic dread, Signal from the Salt Sea is perfect for fans of Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation and James S.A. Corey's The Expanse. Step aboard the Ardent, if you dare-but remember, some signals should never be answered.
Dane Riker is a writer of atmospheric, character-driven science fiction and speculative thrillers that explore the blurred boundaries between survival, discovery, and human resilience in post-apocalyptic worlds. His novels are known for their immersive world-building, psychological depth, and haunting sense of mystery. His previous book, Ashfall's Edge, transported readers into a subterranean society struggling beneath the weight of a ruined Earth, while his next novel, Signal from the Salt Sea, promises to dive into the eerie isolation of a drowned world and the secrets it hides. The Bloodwood Monastery continues Riker's exploration of desolate, otherworldly landscapes-this time blending dark fantasy with cosmic horror-where the remnants of humanity must face the unknown lurking in the shadows of forgotten sanctuaries. When not writing, Dane Riker studies forgotten histories, cryptic folklore, and the unsettling possibilities of lost civilizations, always searching for the next unsettling truth to uncover.
