Just when they think they have their priorities in order another something, deep and dangerous, lurks just below the surface.
Luna and Beckett begin to build a life together on land, but there are rules and laws and complications that threaten to derail their lives. Truths are exposed. Stories are told. Lives become entangled.
And they can probably weather anything.
But while they level with each other, the world is leveling too.

H.D. Knightley loves weaving tales about characters who are in way over their head. People faced with huge environmental issues—light-polluted skies, droughts, piles of hoarded things, encroaching water—that rise above and carry on anyway.
She likes a story in which everything is a disaster, yet they kiss in the end, so it's all good.
Her characters are not perfectly strong, more like creatively ordinary, yet capable of amazing things.
They include Estelle (The Estelle Series) who becomes a celebrity dissident for starting a farm; the Princess Amelia (Fly: The Light Princess Retold) who discovers gravity and rescues her kingdom from a drought; Edmund who scales heights to rescue Violet (Violet's Mountain); and the paddleboarder Luna (the upcoming Leveling) who finds love, shelter, and possible disaster, at the edge of a rising ocean.
As the series progresses the story gets more intense and less carefree. Luna and Beckett are working on a life together but it just gets more complicated. She wants a simple, care free life and his is more complicated and his past is more detailed. We watch how they deal with these issues and try to keep their romance alive. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review this book.
