Carson Owens wakes on his wedding day to a chilling discovery: his fiancée, Gina Blake, has vanished-along with nine others. In the Province, departure without sanction is treason. Was Gina taken, or did she choose to run? The question is a blade twisting in his chest.
Grief calcifies into obsession as Carson scours records, desperate for any trace of Gina. Then a dream of her ends in an eight-pointed star burned into the skin on his inner wrist. The mark could doom him if discovered-and he hasn't a clue what it means.
Meanwhile, Carson's father, Derek, leads a floundering search for the missing. Dead ends pile up; his son's sanity frays. Out of options, Derek turns to his renegade brother-a runaway the Province assumes is dead-knowing the price of that alliance could be both their lives.
Far beyond the Province's reach, Gina is aboard a rusting tanker on the Glassy Sea. The same dream-induced mark brands her wrist. Her captors call it a soulcrest-proof of a divine bond now anchoring her to Carson across an impossible distance, creating a dreamscape just for them. This puts her captors in danger, and they will do what they must to keep their hidden home a secret.
Truths unravel. Lies deepen. Bonds shatter.
