Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The boat came back empty. The Warden did not.

Maren Greywick has done the one thing every Warden of Cinderwick was warned never to do. She has loved the drowned Ferryman past the point of letting him go, and the sea has taken him down into the cold for good.

But Maren is not the fading woman she was. She has caught the spark, the warmth that runs both ways, and she is stronger than any Warden in the old book ever dreamed. Strong enough to do the unthinkable. Strong enough to follow him.

So she walks down into the drowning dark itself, past a sleeping god and a hundred years of the lost, to the bottom of the world where the man she loves stands forgetting his own name. She carries a lantern, a fistful of salt, and a single rope of gold strung between his heart and hers. She has until the cold takes the last of him.

The way down is the way back. No Warden has ever proved it. Maren means to, with his hand in hers and his true name in her mouth, or she means to stay in the cold beside him forever.

But the deep does not give back what it takes. And something vast, woken by the theft, has begun to turn toward the surface.

Perfect for readers who love:

◆ A heroine who walks into death itself to bring her love home

◆ A century-dead hero losing the last of who he was

◆ A bond of warmth held against a cold and hungry sea

◆ Drowned-world folklore, a waking god, and a coming tide

◆ Devotion fierce enough to rewrite the oldest law there is

The way down is the way back. She will prove it, or she is never coming up.

Book 3 of the Saltbound series. Best read after The Calling Tide and The Salt and the Spark.
