Malta, 21 BC. Elyssa is the daughter of the island's most renound praeficae - the hired mourning woman who howls at every graveside. But Elyssa, still reeling from the death of her father, finds herself disconnecting from life around her and discovers an increasing synergy with those far below the earth's surface. A story concerned with mourning, loss, burial and exhumation, but above all the rapidly changing planet beneath our feet and its ties to our mortality.
