Summary
Alys Vaelthorne never stayed on land long enough to grow roots. The sea wasn't home either - can't make a home out of something boundless and turbulent - but it accepted her. Let her breathe, let her escape. Cleaned off the sins. Carried her away.
Now Alys can't run anymore. There's a worm gnawing away at her soul and it whispers promises of absolution.
And, on top of it all, him.
That strange, cunning elf who watches too closely. Who lies and charms and kills with a grin. And who, beneath it all,
understands.
That scares her more than the end of the world.
A story of survivors. Of loss and grief and monstrosity. Of two circling each other until claws and teeth clash, until humanity starts to bloom again, in the places that used to be barren.
