Two girls run along the seashore, one always a few steps behind. "Wait for me!" Esther cries.
"Wait for me!" Esther has been begging her whole life, hoping to get closer to her older sister—dazzling, captivating, indomitable.

But Aura flew to the other end of the world and severed her ties. Then she returned, unlike herself. She returned—and disappeared again, forever. After her mysterious death, a diary remained. It contains seven phrases, seven images associated with them. Seven clues to what happened to Aura.

The clues lead to a northern city, where every stone whispers its own story, and to islands rising from the ocean like the spine of a sleeping dragon—a place steeped in Aura's beloved legends about the seal people, the deep sea, and the destinies of women.

Her own mistakes and disappointments threaten to drag her down, and grief, resentment, and love are entwined in a knot that leaves her breathless. Esther has no choice but to follow Aura once again. But Esther must travel this path not to climb into her sister's shoes, but to learn to live in her own.
