Extended Synopsis

A Study in Drowning follows architecture student Effy Sayre, a young woman who finds her only refuge from haunting childhood visions in the pages of her favorite epic, Angharad. When the family of the book's late author, Emrys Myrddin, announces a contest to redesign his crumbling estate, Hiraeth Manor, Effy is compelled to enter. Her arrival at the decrepit house on the edge of a hungry sea reveals she is not alone.

Preston Héloury, a pragmatic literature scholar, has already taken residence at the manor with a singular goal: to prove that Myrddin was a literary fraud. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two academic rivals must piece together the genuine legacy of the reclusive author. As they dig deeper, they awaken dark forces—both mortal and magical—that threaten to consume them. This Collector's Deluxe Limited Edition elevates the atmospheric tale with intricate foil case design, antique-style endpapers, a filigree cover, and custom-designed edges.
