The Drowning Gods: Sunken Court - Book Two

Nobody has ever asked him what he wants.Nera reached into the sea, and for the first time in nine centuries, the sea reached back.Now there's something in her head that isn't hers, an empire hunting a woman it constructed, and a god at the bottom of the western ocean who has been waiting twenty-four years to be found. To reach him she'll have to cross the Spine, drown on purpose, and go down into the Sunken Court - where eleven million drowned souls have been queuing in the dark for nine hundred years, each holding the one thing they need somebody to know.And Lucan Vey is discovering what he was actually built for. Not her lover. Her lock.But the deepest secret isn't in the trench. It's in a sheltered bay behind the Spine, where twelve boats lie salted white in a neat line - eleven wrecks, and one still afloat.Theirs.This has happened before.
