Beneath the waves, in the lawless frontier of Abyss Gulch,
Sheriff Lefty Suleman wakes to a catastrophe: his leftmost
arm has been surgically stolen, and the thief-a
brilliant and bitter nautilus-is building a god from the ocean's
fi nest limbs. So begins a trilogy about broken things and the
creatures who refuse to discard them. Across three books, the
Gulch outlasts a mechanized king, answers a Silence that offers
the mercy of forgetting, and opens its gates to a rival civilization
that comes for the one thing that cannot be stolen: the way a
community remembers. Lefty must learn that true strength lies
not in what you hold, but in what you choose to let go. A rich,
Shakespearean undersea adventure, The Taller Shell is a tale of
vengeance and mercy, memory and repair, and the shells we
build chamber by chamber.
