Published

In the fog-bound town of Mercy, grief is something you can set down. The Keepers draw out your worst sorrow and lock it in glass, and you walk away light.

Twelve-year-old Wren Aldermoor is the one soul whose feelings will not come loose — and when her brother is emptied into three jars and carried into the buried museum of the town’s pain, she learns that being unkeepable makes her the only one who can walk the deep and bring him back.

But something older than Mercy is waking down there. It has been fed for a hundred years. And it does not want to be fed. It wants to be felt.

A novel of the Underkeep.
