   Summary

   Clancy was never meant to escape Dema. Torchbearer was never meant to follow him into the dark. And the creature they find washed ashore—with eyes like stormwater and no name to speak—was never meant to be human.

   But some things are born to be named.
   And some fires are meant to spread.
