Some answers hide just beneath the skin — literally.

Patience and precision give way to something no one was prepared for. Old rhythms return, familiar and dangerous, as the search for truth pulls toward a conclusion that refuses to stay quiet. The comfort of expertise offers no shelter when the evidence speaks in a language no one wants to understand.

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.
