Suspended above the inky expanse of Lake Voyd, and imprisoned by the mists of The Veil above, Velmora is a city fractured by war, where mortal magic is strictly prohibited and secrets breed like shadows.
When a string of seemingly impossible murders rattles the city, disgraced Detective Octavia Wren is plagued with cryptic notes, sent by the supposed murderer, goading her into the case. Dragged back into the shadows of the job she lost, she starts uncovering threads of a conspiracy that curls beneath Velmora like a sleeping leviathan, threatening to pull the entire city into the depths.
As trust fractures and loyalties collapse, lies spreading like poison, Octavia must decide who she can trust—including herself. But the investigation cuts closer than she ever expected, each revelation prying open truths she never asked to face. A devastating secret binds her to the murders, a conspiracy, and a prophecy that could either save Velmora…or end it.
