The Rift has been restored. The fragment is gone. Lyra thought the hardest part was over.
She was wrong.
Deep beneath the channel network she has walked for seven years, something older is unraveling - not a single fragment, not a contained breach, but the Rift's own structure degrading from within. The Unravelling has been moving for a hundred years. It didn't stop because a Walker finally arrived. It waited.
Now Lyra must go deeper than any Walker has gone in living memory, with five domain lords who are still learning to trust each other - and one of them carrying a secret that could end everything before it begins.
Soren has watched thirty-seven versions of her future. He has catalogued her choices, her mistakes, the three versions where everything holds. What he hasn't told her: in one of those versions, not everyone comes back.
Kael has spent three centuries keeping his magic contained. In the deep Rift, containment may be the one thing that destroys them.
And Lyra is beginning to understand that she isn't the first Walker to walk these passages. She is the twelfth. The eleven before her left something behind.
WHAT THE DEEP REMEMBERS is the second novel in The Rift Walker series - a dark romantasy with dual POV, slow burn, and a reverse harem that earns every step. For readers who want the romance to mean something when it arrives.
