This Gilded Abyss
by Rebecca Thorne
Book 1 in The Titan's Wrath Trilogy
Rebecca Thorne proved she can do dark and tense just as well as cozy. The underwater setting is unlike anything else in romantasy right now, and the sapphic enemies-to-lovers hits harder because these two have real history and real reasons to hate each other.
