Liora Vale has always lived by omens: a silver moth in a locked room, two knocks before a life-changing decision, a spiral drawn in rainwater when danger is near. She calls it anxiety until a letter from her late grandmother summons her to the coastal town of Bellwether and to a house nobody in the family will discuss. There, Liora learns the secret that shaped her life: she was born a twin. Her sister, Mara, died before birth. As Liora follows a trail of symbols through old medical records, a shuttered lighthouse, and the rooms of her childhood, the signs begin to guide her toward a flourishing future - a new career, a chance to repair a fractured family, and the courage to trust her own instincts. But the same symbols lead her closer to a submerged truth about the night Mara died and the doctor who profited from the silence. With a storm closing over Bellwether, Liora must decide whether to sever the thread to the dead or cross the thin, dangerous veil between them. What waits for her is not a ghost story about possession, but a sisterhood that has been waiting all her life to be named.
