About this audiobook
He drowned.
Eleven-year-old Horacio Matthews remembers the hands around his throat. He remembers the cold lake. He remembers dying.
He does not remember waking beneath a black sea suspended above an impossible city where memories are hunted, grief has weight, and the dead refuse to stay silent.
With only the spirit of his beloved dog, Scratch, curled behind his heart, Horacio must navigate a realm where every step deeper threatens to erase another piece of who he is.
Above the water, his older brother Terrance feels the impossible moment of Horacio's death. As a dormant gift awakens within him, he is drawn toward an ancient family legacy of necromancy, forgotten bloodlines, and secrets powerful enough to challenge the boundary between life and death itself.
One brother is trying to return.
The other is learning how to reach him.
Somewhere between memory and mortality, something has been waiting for them both.
