In the tide-slick caverns beneath Kezul’s Hollow, something ancient is hatching.
Ranger-Captain Arya Naza descends into the depths to track a smuggler trail, but what she finds is far worse: mucus-laced tunnels, pulsing walls, and eggs—hundreds of them, veined with gold and twitching with life. And at the center of it all, a girl.
She is not fully human. Not fully anything. Her eyes glow with unblinking mist, and her voice clicks like mandibles behind a smile.
She calls the cave her cradle. She calls what's coming... her kin.
As the walls pulse and the hive stirs, Arya and her companions must escape the womb of something that should never have lived. But the deeper they go, the more the cave remembers them. The more it claims them.
A tale of insectile horror and abyssal birth, The Girl from the Egg crawls beneath the skin—and nests there.
