Summary
But, most importantly, Marina crouches behind her on Mt. Nantai and the Inkling scream-sings to an uncaring, unhearing world. Beyond them, a city larger than anything Marina’s ever seen glints in the light from the rising sun and the horizon spreads itself farther than Marina can comprehend. The Inkling’s voice is as clear as Marina thought, with a vibrato that’s well-trained and high-pitched, which would contrast nicely with Marina’s mezzo—
And there it is. The first thought that sets Marina on the track. Marina closes her eyes and listens to this Inkling girl sing louder than anything Marina’s ever heard, with complete control, and she imagines her future: she’ll charm this girl with her demo, convince her to help her, convince her to take a chance on her, and, together, they’ll make the music that Marina’s been grasping in the dark for.
[A novelization of Off the Hook's story.]

Summary
“Let’s start a band!” Marina blurted out, words twisted by an unfamiliar accent dripping off of plush lips. The moon shone between them, lush and full, the final chords of Marina's song still echoing across the cliffside, bouncing off jagged rocks and dancing across ripples of clear water. The girl's eyes were starry, filled with hope.
“Huh?” Pearl asked, incredulous. That had come outta nowhere!
Coddamn. Was this girl for real?
A song and a mission brings unlikely companions Marina, certified genius and recently-defected Octoling combat engineer, and Pearl, Inkling streetwear heiress and (former) death metal screamer together. But as they navigate language barriers, parents, and the music industry, their friendship begins to blur into something more. With each new song, their connection deepens, and they realize that they may be playing for more than just Off the Hook.
