In the sunken city of Velmara, magic is a fading rumor, and only broken relics remember the truth. Seventeen-year-old scavenger Ilyra can hear the final words of any enchanted object before it dies—a gift she hides to survive the flooded markets. When a dying compass whispers the location of the Sundered Heart, the last remnant of the shattered god Vael, she becomes the target of the Ashen Syndicate, a guild that has silenced relic-hunters for decades. Forced to partner with Kestrel, a disgraced collector who once killed for the Syndicate, Ilyra must navigate collapsing canals, living statues, and her own dangerous empathy. The Heart is not dead; it is sleeping. And someone is already waking it. If she fails, the city drowns in the old god's dream.
