The Waking (The Grey Deep)

By Jalál C. Hockett

The Grey Deep: The Waking

The world doesn't end with a storm. It ends with still water and a voice that knows your name.

Mara survived the coup. The slavery. The escape. Now she's crossing hostile country with a stolen knife, a false name, and enemies on every road between her and safety.

Eirik's raids come easy now. Too easy. Something is growing in him that the violence keeps feeding. He doesn't know what it will cost him yet. He's starting to find out.

Valdyr spent a year as a slave in Frostgard with one thing keeping him alive - a name. Now he's free, tangled in a revolution that isn't his war, using every piece of it to get closer to the man who destroyed his family.

And something ancient is already inside Isla's head - learning her fears, speaking in her language, telling her it's the only one that understands.

The Grey Deep is waking. It doesn't need an army. It already has what it needs - four people at their most broken, at their most dangerous, each alone and pointed toward the same horizon.

The Waking is the second book in the Grey Deep series.
