In "Dark Life," a gripping underwater adventure, we follow Ty, a young boy living in a submerged world where people have adapted to life beneath the ocean's surface. Ty dreams of becoming a "dark dweller," exploring the mysterious underwater territories and uncovering hidden secrets. When a series of mysterious attacks threaten his community, Ty teams up with Gemma, a girl from the surface, to uncover the truth behind the danger lurking in the depths. Together, they face challenges and unravel mysteries that will change their lives forever, as they discover resilience, friendship, and the meaning of true bravery.

Kat Falls grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland and now teaches at NU, where she is continually inspired by her students' creativity. She started writing DARK LIFE as a writing exercise. Knowing that her 12-year-old son loved reading about the ocean, Wild West pioneers and, of course, the X-Men, she combined his interests and created the premise for a story that kept her up nights plotting and world-building. Kat lives in Evanston, Illinois with her husband, theatre director Robert Falls, their three lively children, two cats, two guinea pigs and a snake named Poncho.
