Eanna Reeves is five-foot-one, mildly antisocial, and very good at disappearing into the background. Her job is information security. Her hobbies are hiking alone and avoiding human contact. Then she walks into a mountain cave and wakes something up. Now there are soldiers. Black vans. A government with a very strong opinion about what she saw and an even stronger opinion about keeping her quiet. There's a cat that appeared out of nowhere and seems to think it belongs to her. And there's the thing she released - ancient, elemental, and apparently not done with her. It's been waiting a long time. It remembers her. She doesn't remember it. Yet. Eanna isn't a hero. She isn't chosen. She's just the woman who accidentally cracked the world open — and now something older than civilization is walking back into it, and it's walking toward her.
