There's a hollow spot in the room where something important used to be, yet the shape remains.

A house full of small mutinies — sugar raids, homework dodged, brothers at war over things that don't matter yet. But between the noise and the dust, a stillness settles in a handmade room, and something hardens. Some things are worth protecting not because they're yours, but because someone trusted you to carry them forward.

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.
