RISE FROM THE DEEP
By Suzan Yumerova

GENRE: Fantasy, Adventure
LOGLINE:

In an era of ancient seas and forgotten gods, a child born during a maritime massacre is
raised by an ocean guardian, and grows into Cormac, a fierce warrior, destined to
confront the dark wizard who destroyed his family. Caught between revenge and a rising
tide of destruction, he must decide whether to forge a bridge between two hostile
worlds—land and water.

SYNOPSIS:

In an age of ancient seas and forgotten gods, a Viking fleet is ambushed by a sea

monster conjured by the dark mage Haldor. Amid the chaos, a dying mother saves her

newborn son, Cormac, and casts him into the waves in a sacred cradle. He is found and

raised by Turaphis, a mystical sea turtle, in glowing undersea caverns among ancient

turtles and whales. When Cormac fails a rite of passage and is exiled, his whale

companions reveal the truth: He is the heir to an ancient prophecy, and Haldor murdered

his family. Fueled by rage, Cormac sets sail toward his ancestral island—now ruled by

darkness.

Over the ocean waves, Cormac meets Dr. Li Zheng and his daughter Lian, a healing

seer who uncovers the prophecy. As a bond forms between them, Haldor strikes,

slaughtering Cormac's turtle kin, kidnapping Lian, and fatally wounding Dr. Li before he

can reveal the prophecy’s truth. Arriving too late, Cormac finds everything he loved

taken from him.

With both sea and land on the brink of destruction, Cormac unites human warriors and

sea creatures in a final alliance. In a titanic battle, he confronts Haldor—not with hate,

but with forgiveness. By fulfilling the prophecy, he becomes the long-awaited bridge

between both realms—, bringing peace to their divided worlds.
