History sleeps beneath them all, but only she sees it.
Lafayette Eloi grew up in a village of people who remained strangers to her. She and her mother always stood apart, separated from the others by their accent. By the secretive comings and goings of her wayward father. And by the forbidden knowledge her mother imparted to her in the dark of night.
With her mother dead and her father trapped in space, Lafayette finally learned why they kept that knowledge secret. Now the burden lies with her. She must protect it.
So Lafayette returns to the city where her parents first met. The city where they learned all that they passed on to her. The city where all the secrets still dwell, hidden in the shadows and under the ground.
And sometimes in plain sight.
But no one sees any of it. And Lafayette knows learning the why of that means unlocking the biggest secret of them all.
