The Salt-Stained Song
The Salt-Stained Song
Elara Desnoux fled Mauritius to escape the relentless whispers of the drowned. But when a man is found dead on a mountaintop, his lungs filled with the sea, she is forced to return. Drawn into a ritualistic murder, Elara must use her painful gift to uncover the truth. She discovers a centuries-old pact between a colonial family and the Esprit Labriz, a vengeful island spirit of water and memory. As the Spirit's haunting Song lures more victims, Elara must bridge the gap between a skeptical detective and a waking god to heal an ancient wound, before the island itself is drowned in a tide of rage.
