Nadia Whitewood has shed into forty-seven different bodies. She knows how to disappear, how to survive, how to leave nothing behind. What she doesn't know is how to stop.
When a failed assignment forces her into the open - into Zara Cross's guest house in Rivermourne, telling the truth for the first time in years - everything she has built her career on begins to unravel. The Higer Court is closing in. A second prophecy changes the meaning of the Chosen One. And a body that was supposed to be borrowed is starting to feel like the only one she has left.
While Zara navigates the political fallout of the first Crossing and Kofi carries the weight of eighteen bound souls, the group uncovers something that changes the nature of the fight entirely: the Higer Court was not compromised from within. It was built that way. The founding charter, written in Year 310, carries a second author - one who has been watching the island from inside the Duppy Realm for two thousand years.
The Veil can be crossed. The dead do not have to stay separated from the living. But the path forward requires a choice none of them were trained to make.
The Skin Sheds is the second book in The Chronicles of Niyamland - a dark Caribbean fantasy series rooted in Jamaican folklore, history, and language.
