Some dread you chase; some you carry home in your own two hands.

A rattling wagon, a throat pulled too tight to speak, a hand gripped like a lifeline against a fear too ugly to name aloud. But suspicion is a greedy thing, and while it holds you, the people who trusted you to simply be there are learning what your absence costs. What do we owe the ones who counted on us—and how late do we notice we've failed them?

Narrated by Rebecca Hasler.

Set in D.W. Sheppard’s vast interconnected world where protective Gates hold back deadly monsters and treacherous flora, where safety is never guaranteed.
