The Each-Uisge

Thirteen-year-old Wren Calloway rows over the place her father drowned, waiting for the reservoir to give him back.

Then a black horse appears on the water, and a new boy named Evan offers the exact location of her father's body. The price is only that Wren follow him into the lake.

As old iron warms and another victim vanishes, Wren discovers the creature beneath Carvell feeds on longing before it ever touches skin. To stop it, she must restore a forgotten barrier across a drowned town—and refuse the one answer she wants most.
