Chapter One: The Last Light
Mara follows Oren's unfulfilled promise through Tideglass Harbor and discovers what a forgotten route will ask of her.
At dawn, Mara Vale counted six lights across Tideglass Harbor. There should have been seven. She stood on the ferry steps with her notebook open, watching the western water swallow the thin line where Oren's island belonged. The map showed an empty patch of blue. Yesterday it had shown a harbor, a tower, and a name she could no longer bring to mind.Read the sample chapter
