Two women. One fading world. And the truth that will remake them both.
A mysterious tattoo.
A peculiar puzzle box.
A foe no one anticipated.
Fleur Harkyn has hit a dead end, but instead of screaming—that’s what old Fleur would do—she’s asking for help to find the last three relics needed to rebuild the sheath and save the Great Tree. Unfortunately, that means asking the man who exiled her for help.
Lenora Khade doesn’t regret her choice to return to the Inbetween, she’s too busy helping the Soulkeeper mend the Tree, and it’s not going well. Only one soul can aid the Tree, and no one has seen the Tree Mother for ten thousand years.
When Fleur’s fingerprints are found on the body of an unknown man floating in Lake Union, the hunt for the enigmatic relics takes a hard turn, leading her and Lenora through the stormy histories of the second realm to the creature who started it all and a secret that will change everything.
If Fleur can just stay out of jail.
