Nightjar, sentient ship and family matriarch, looms large in KhuyĂȘn’s past. Disappearances drove teenage KhuyĂȘn from it, but death will steer her back. Now an adult and a magistrate, KhuyĂȘn came for her maternal grandmother’s funeral but finds herself unwittingly reliving her past on the decaying Nightjar. Children are still disappearing as her childhood friends once did; and worse, her beloved Cousin Anh vanishes after pleading for her help. KhuyĂȘn sets out to save Anh alongside TháșŁo, a beautiful and mysterious woman who seems to know more than she should about KhuyĂȘn and the ship. But saving Anh requires doing what KhuyĂȘn couldn’t do before: face her family, face the ship, face her own hopes and fears for the future—a future that might well include TháșŁo, but only if KhuyĂȘn can stop listening to the critical voice in her head. A voice that sounds an awful lot like Nightjar’s
