In the twisting layers of Dûrnarn, where stone towers rise from the depths and old mining machines have a life of their own, something sinister is awakening. Elspeth is no stranger to danger or darkness; with tattoos of ancient symbols and green eyes sharp enough to pierce through the city’s veils, she’s navigated Dûrnarn’s mysteries her whole life. But these days, the city feels different—like it’s hiding something it doesn’t want found. With Bell, a curious and clever friend whose instincts for danger are only outmatched by her loyalty, Elspeth dives into the heart of Dûrnarn’s darkest secrets. From eerie lights in the mines to artifacts that vanish without a trace, the mysteries they uncover hint at forces older and far more dangerous than anything Dûrnarn’s seen. Elspeth and Bell may be the only ones willing to ask the right questions—but are they ready for the answers?
