Deepwater (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185072516)

Leste gave up the deep channel for me. I didn't ask him to. He just stopped going back. And the stillness I used to trust in him shifted into something I couldn't read, and he wouldn't explain it, and I let that go on too long.

Now the channel is open from the other side. A woman has come to Gravier with a name I've never heard and a debt older than the covenant. And the man who has lived in the walls of this house for two hundred years is about to tell me what he should have told me the night I arrived.

The covenant was a feeding arrangement. I've been maintaining it like it was mine to keep. It wasn't.
