The Glasswater Death Contract

The cracked pocket watch screamed Lin Lan’s name—and whispered the date of her death. Before she could smash it, a shadowless girl stepped into her stall with a breathing lantern and a sealed coat only Lin could repair. Nara Voss should have been impossible, yet every touch pulled Lin deeper into a danger she could hear trapped inside old things. As the city’s merciless anomaly inspector hunts them, each restored relic exposes Lin’s family betrayal—and the Glasswater Night Market, where impossible wishes are bought with precious memories. Nara may be nothing more than the leftover shell of someone else’s wish, but Lin is falling for her anyway. When the market opens, Lin must choose: save the girl she loves, or sacrifice the memories of an entire city—including her own.
