   Summary

   Apocalypse does not mean ruin, but revelation.

   Nox agrees to babysit Prunella while Chase and Deacon are busy. The book she brings for the two of them to do resurfaces old, mostly forgotten memories of faint voices, the sea air, and something—or someone—rocking him to sleep.

   Can Nox power through the traumas of his past to find out what it is he's forgotten?

   (Title and beginning quote from the poem Smoldering Dawn by Amanda Gorman)
