Meridian Bloom ✦ ✧ ⋆ ✦ ✧

Elora Quinn solved her own murder.

She broke her loop, reclaimed her stolen soul and lit a beacon to wake the dead across the world.

Something answered.

The voice calling across the ocean is not a rescuer. Mauro is old, patient and like her in every way but one: he serves the things that harvest the dead and has learned to lead them. He knows what Elora saw in the sky that night. He knows what her signal cost. And he is offering her a way back to everything death took from her.

I can get you the life you crave.

While Elora bargains with darkness in the stone bones of Florence, the Scoriaen are coming apart. Rhen's vanished Order has returned with an offer of home and one condition: betray her. The scattered dead she rescued are turning up changed or not turning up at all. And from the silver mines beneath Lake Superior, Iris hears something impossible in the water… the Ascension Melody, singing where no song should reach, carrying a warning the dead already know.

The tunnel of light is not what it promised to be.

And the only ones who can prove it can never walk through.

If you loved the lush gothic atmosphere of Anne Rice, the suffocating secrets of Mexican Gothic or the reality-bending momentum of Recursion, go deeper.

Welcome back to Veilspace.
