The Meridian Vow

About this book

In fog-bound Alderport, where true devotion glows as visible heartlines and the oldest vows are kept alive by the bells of Meridian Bridge, seventeen-year-old Marisol Vega can hear every promise ever spoken near her. She has spent a year mourning Ilse Brandt, the friend who vanished on the night five teenagers swore an unbreakable pact on the bridge. When the vow-bells suddenly fall silent and the people Marisol loves begin forgetting the ones they cherish most, she realizes the pact never ended — it is coming due. With Casimir, the keeper's son who hides a guilty vow of his own, and Teddy, a cartographer's daughter who maps hearts she cannot confess to, Marisol must uncover what really happened the night Ilse disappeared. Because somewhere beneath the river, a severed heartline is still glowing — and it is calling her name.
