It's been seventeen years since the internet crashed and left the world broken…
Auli lives on the Bellwether, a floating college safe from the conflict of the mainland, where she studies the Oracle – an uncanny girl who channels dangerous ghosts and provides lost information about the world’s seas.
Her peaceful world is shattered when her beloved mentor, Boudain, is found dead. While most aboard believe it was due to natural causes, Auli discovers hints that suggest he was not the benign leader he seemed – and that his death might be deliberate.
Surrounded by people with their own motives and secrets, Auli doesn’t know who to trust. Worse, the Oracle is attracting dangerous, mutating ghosts that threaten everyone aboard. With the Bellwether fracturing from internal and external pressures, she is forced to wrestle with a life-changing decision: save the Oracle or save the Bellwether – and all the lives that depend on it.

A conservation scientist and third culture Scot, Lorraine Wilson lives by the sea writing stories influenced by folklore and the wilderness. She has a PhD from the University of St. Andrews and is the author of This Is Our Undoing, The Way The Light Bends, Mother Sea, We Are All Ghosts in the Forest, and the novella The Last To Drown. Winner of a BFA for her short fiction, her books have been longlisted for the BSFA, finalists for the BFA, Kavya and Saltire Awards, and twice winners of the SCKAwards. Lorraine has been stalked by wolves, caught the bubonic plague, and befriended pythons, but she now sticks to herding cats.
