When Seph Hale returns to her coastal hometown of Caligo Harbor after her mother’s sudden death, she expects the rot, grief that soaks into the walls, and a life she's left behind. What she doesn’t expect is Grim: a man who claims to be Death himself—or the truth he brings with him.
Seph is already dead. She just can’t remember how.
As her soul begins to sunder, she’s forced to retrace her past, with Grim and a familiar face she’s already buried—both figuratively and literally.
But Caligo Harbor doesn’t surrender willingly to the light. Memories surface with the rising tides, revealing a childhood built on lies and a manifestation that has always lingered just beyond the fog.
If Seph doesn’t uncover her truth in time, she won’t just lose her soul—she’ll lose herself.
