Overview

To keep the dead from drowning the living, Wick has to become one of the dead. And the moment he wins, he loses everything he was fighting for.

The countdown ran out. The breach a friend died to hold has failed, and the drowned age is walking up into the daylight in force - a murdered world reclaiming the country it was buried to make room for. No line of keepers can hold a flood. There is only one way, lost for four hundred years: to keep the dead so wholly, remember them so completely, that they rest content and do not rise.

But a boy cannot remember a whole murdered age. Only that age can. To learn the old holding, Wick must go down into the drowned world and become Aldren - the self he was before this life, before the founders' knives - and every day down there, the living boy he built goes a little more out, and the old dark rises to take his place.

He can hold the flood. He can save the living world one more season. He will do it as the thing he swore he would never be - a Keeper, half-drowned, hollowed to a seam between the living and the dead - and in saving the world from the risen age, he will hand the empire the one thing it was waiting for: a world with nothing left to check it, loosed at last to unname everyone.

The Drowning is Book Six of The Named World - dark-academia epic fantasy for readers of Ninth House, Babel, and The Scholomance.
