Some women see things others can't. Someone has been hunting them for it.
Private investigator Maxime Dufresne left the Montreal police three years ago, carrying the weight of a decision that nearly cost a child her life. He works alone now - no chain of command, no one to let down. Until a journalist walks into his office with a file on three missing women, a fourth one dead, and a set of symbols carved into stone at every disappearance site.
What he uncovers beneath the surface of Old Montreal is a secret history hiding in plain sight: the Guardians of the Seal, a nineteenth-century society of wealthy families convinced the city was built atop ancient convergence points, places where something vast and patient has waited since long before the first settlers arrived. Twelve sites. A cycle meant to open a permanent connection to it. And a man who has spent twenty years reconstructing what the original founders got fatally wrong in 1887 - using women with a rare sensitivity as carriers, exploiting the very gift that made them feel understood for the first time in their lives.
As Maxime races against an astronomical deadline only days away, he has to decide how far his own hard-won caution will let him go - and whether some convictions are dangerous precisely because the person who holds them is sincere.
A gripping mystery about belief, exploitation, and the stories a city keeps buried in its oldest stones.
