Length4h 38m
About this audiobook
The lagoon was supposed to be safe. It was where I counted urchins at dawn. Where I performed the role the town expected of the last Maren — harbor-keeper, agreement-keeper, daughter-of-the-dead. Where I watched the water and pretended I wasn't watching back. Then he surfaced. I'm Iris Maren. Four years ago I found my father dead on the dock at sunrise, and I've been alone in his house ever since, running his patrols, enforcing his old truce with the things in the deep, performing his life because mine ended with him. The lagoon is the only place I let myself feel anything. The lagoon is where I first saw the merman. His name is Cill. The Court banished him to these shallows three years ago, not for a crime, not for a betrayal, but because an elder needed a piece off the board. He has watched me dive every dawn since. He carries a stolen pendant that lets him speak in human words. He has bioluminescent constellations on his back that pulse when he wants me.
