The gods are dead. Decades ago, they turned on one another and tore each other apart. When 15-year-old Hark finds the still-beating heart of a terrifying deity, he risks everything to keep it out of the hands of smugglers, military scientists, and a secret fanatical cult so that he can use it to save the life of his best friend, Jelt. But with the heart, Jelt gradually and eerily transforms. How long should Hark stay loyal to his friend when he's becoming a monster and what is Hark willing to sacrifice to save him?

Fifty years after the gods destroyed each other, their remains are worth a lot of money, but when Hark discovers a god's still beating heart, he conceals it and uses it to help his best friend Jelt, and the longer Jelt is in contact with the heart, the more of a monster he becomes. - Baker & Taylor

The gods are dead. Fifty years ago, they turned on one another and tore each other apart. Nobody knows why. Now, even coin-size scraps of dead god are worth a fortune because of the strange powers theyâre said to possess. But few are brave enough to dive and search for them.
When 15-year-old Hark finds the still-beating heart of one of these deities, heâll risk everything to keep it out of the hands of smugglers, scientists, and cults who would kill for its power. Because Hark needs the heart if he wants to save the life of his best friend, Jelt. But the power of a god was not meant for human hands.
With the heart, Jelt begins to eerily transform, and Hark will have to decide if he can stay loyal to his friendâor what heâs willing to sacrifice to save him.
âGlorious thematic complexity inhabits a wildly inventive world, with the menacing roils of a dangerous sea threatening the archipelago and touches of steampunk rounding out the fantastical elements.â âBulletin of the Center for Childrenâs Books (Starred Review) - HARPERCOLL
