Blurb:

Three months have passed since the Great Quake shook Magrath. Three months since Balfour lost Skye.

The city lies in ruin and survival is only possible by scavenging. Every day they root through buildings filled with those killed in the earthquake that was meant to mark the end of the tarilla war. The war that still rages on.

Balfour's biggest fear is to find Skye. Rotten and crushed under the rubble. But he knows where she died: In the starless vaults at the centre of town.

Struggling to accept his loss, Balfour strays to the courtyard where he once spent a night beside Skye. But there he discovers an old enemy and that hope yet remains.

Can he risk the people who have become his family for someone he has already lost and mourned?
