Soojin Han has always known the rules: never resurrect anything larger than the palm of your hand. But when her sister Mirae drowns in the river that winds through their coastal town, rules no longer matter.
Her magic brings Mirae back, and for a while it feels like a miracle. The sisters share laughter, secrets, and the joy of stolen time. Yet Mirae begins to change. She is restless, hungry, and drawn to the past that destroyed their family.
As storms batter the town and bodies turn up in the floodwaters, Soojin realizes she may have unleashed something far darker than grief.
Can she protect her family and uncover the truth, or will the river drag them all under once more?
