Pilot Ines Halloran knows the Bellhaven harbor better than anyone, but nothing prepares her for Ambrose—a living, breathing piece of the city's architecture bound by a strict sunset-to-sunrise schedule. In a rain-slicked world of bulkers, tide tables, and granite, a pilot and a gargoyle discover that sometimes the most enduring connections are carved in stone. A hauntingly atmospheric maritime romance where the tide turns on magic and the weight of the past is measured in centuries.
