The ancient pact inside her wrist grants her the power to read shadows, heal broken flesh and hear the thing dreaming beneath the black water—but every working costs her a memory. A face. A voice.

Konrad may be the only person who can help her stop them. He may also be the weapon they sent to lead her there. As fever spreads through the villages and the fjord begins to move against the moon, Isolde is forced towards the abbey—and towards a truth the Order buried centuries ago. Her memories…
