Lyra Drummon moves through the island streets where fae markets glitter like fish scales and the rain whispers old oaths. When a stolen emblem awakens a memory she didn’t know she had, she must choose between a quiet life on the water and a dangerous vow that could either free her people or condemn them to drown beneath the sea. The island’s pulse quickens with each clandestine meeting, every promise traded for survival, until one night the night itself seems to rise with her to demand an answer.

Lyra Kestrel moves through a teeming, polyglot metropolis where neon-streaked rain reveals the wounds of distant wars. In a street-level orbit around a central rite, she discovers a map that hums with the weight of possible futures and dangerous debts. As factions collide in the crowded byways, Lyra must choose which family to trust and how much of herself she’s willing to trade for survival, all while the city breathes with histories it was never meant to reveal.
