In the Sovereign's Lament — a vast drifting hulk so ancient its settlers have forgotten the stars — the thermal systems are failing. Jael, a solitary scavenger, is sent alone into unmapped sections to find the source. When a child follows her into the dark, an expedition becomes something more. In corridors that shift between the bones of dead warships, where pale things watch from the shadows and silence carries weight, Jael will discover that the cold is only the first symptom of something far worse stirring in the Lament's iron heart.
