A dark prophecy resurfaces, foretelling a cataclysmic event triggered by a forgotten race beneath the ocean floor: the Abyssals β an exiled, monstrous civilization believed to be long extinct.
While Black Manta returns stronger than ever, armed with arcane technology and a vendetta that refuses to die, Aquaman must balance being a king, a warrior, a father, and the protector of both land and sea.
