About this audiobook
Fourteen months ago the sea took her memory. Now it has sent her a witness.
Halsey Tarrow is a deep-water cartographer who maps the same ten miles of seafloor over and over, looking for the thing she can't remember. Fourteen months ago she and her colleague took the submersible Nereus down to 1,800 feet. Only Halsey came back up — with a gap where those minutes should be and an official report that says equipment failure. She rebuilt the Nereus herself. She knows the report is wrong.
What she doesn't know: what they saw was never meant to be witnessed. The deep has laws, and a Court that enforces them. The watcher they sent has been in Thornwick's cold water for six months. He is older than the harbor, and he was not supposed to speak to her. He was not supposed to choose her.
A standalone Tide-Bound novella. Slow-burn, explicit once the bond turns. HEA. Magic: oceanic.
For readers of Tiffany Roberts and Lillian Lark.
