Fifty years ago, they turned on one another and tore each other apart. Nobody knows why. Now, even coin-sized scraps of dead god are worth a fortune because of the strange powers they're said to possess. But few are brave enough to dive and search for them.

With the heart, Jelt begins to eerily transform, and Hark will have to decide if he can stay loyal to his friend―or what he's willing to sacrifice to save him.
