Ember Miles and Sam have been called home—only home is a place none of them have ever been
before. The choices they make will not only determine their own futures but will also have vast
and permanent consequences—they will either restore a cosmic balance or destroy the dams that
separate two worlds ending them both. Ember was called because she belonged Miles because his
mother belonged and Sam . . . well Sam arranged his own invitation. The Fountain itself
is beautiful and alluring—yet so is the light of an anglerfish. Hidden below the surface the
world of the Fountain is vast: unexplored and unmapped and full of wild things—leviathan and
tiny scuttling things and all manner of creature in between. There are other entities as well
entities that haunt and hunt in the Fountain because it rewards nearly as often as it punishes
and it has been punishing the greedy and merciless and cruel for a very long time. For those
the Fountain becomes a prison. The borders between our world and the world of the Fountain
are already porous. If the balance between them is upset and control of the Fountain is lost
the consequences will be rapid merciless and world-ending. In every timeline that has been or
will be everywhere that water stands in our world will become a passageway for the violent
damned to enter ours from the Fountain. For Ember Miles and Sam all from different times
what starts as a journey to take control of their lives quickly becomes a quest to save—or
destroy—both worlds depending on whom you ask. Rising star and Bram Stoker Award-winning
author Lora Senf has created a gorgeously written pitch-black fantasy that will transport
readers to a world that is as beautiful as it is horrifying and will keep readers on their toes
as they devour it page by page.
