November 24, 1926. One night. 2,500 souls. A ship deemed unsinkable.
The MS Solomon Queen is the crown jewel of the ocean-244 meters of steel, luxury, and ambition cutting through the Marvegan waters. For young journalist Evelyn Fairchild, it's supposed to be a routine assignment. For heiress Meret Mert-Kau, it's an escape to freedom. For film producer Charles Rinkewicz, it's a celebration of success.
But when a violent storm strikes and a fatal mistake unfolds in the vehicle deck, the Queen begins her slow descent into the abyss.
As icy water floods the corridors and lifeboats become battlegrounds, class barriers shatter. Love blooms in the chaos. Heroes emerge from the darkness. And 2,500 lives hang in the balance as the ocean claims its prey.
Based on the tragic sinking that shocked Alterra, "The Queen's Downfall" weaves together the stories of passengers from all walks of life -immigrants chasing dreams, aristocrats hiding secrets, crew members making impossible choices- in their final hours aboard the world's most magnificent ship.
*Some will survive. Most will not. None will ever be the same.*
