Overview

"Depths is a science fiction story about learning to understand people different from oneself set in the middle of a war between two species battling for the right to colonize the same uninhabited planet. Its protagonist, Aven Torro, has a unique perspective into Dirt's—their enemy-turned-comrade—mind, but still struggles to overcome their assumptions and misconceptions. This conflict is further complicated by their personal desire for revenge after the death of their sister. Forced to work together, Aven and Dirt slowly begin to understand each other as intense battles rage on. Ultimately, by choosing compassion over hatred, Aven is able to see their former enemy in a new way. This change makes it possible for Aven to save thousands of lives and help bring about the end of an interspecies war." -- Abstract
