What the Water Keeps: A Novel

In the fastest-growing city on earth, every fortune is built over something the water swallowed Maren rose from the sea in a single generation - a coast of glass towers raised on reclaimed land, where the tide is farmed for spectacle and the past is something you pour concrete over. Juno Vey arrives to do the one thing she is good at: build the authorized life of Aurel Vane, the luminous entrepreneur whose galas light the bay and whose history fills only eleven pages. But every life has a drowned village beneath it. As Juno assembles the legend she is paid to protect, she uncovers the single hour Vane has spent a fortune trying to forget - the choice, the woman, and the love the water still keeps. A novel of ambition and its price, of self-invention and the gap between the surface and the deep, What the Water Keeps asks how much a shining life can hide - and what the tide takes back when it finally comes home.
