The Weight We Swallow
In the fog-bound hollow of Marrow's Creek, Junie Prather is the last Sin-Eater — hired to devour a dying stranger's confessed and unconfessed sins so their soul may finally rest, carrying the truth silently to her own grave. When the tyrannical matriarch who drove her family into ruin dies just before dawn, Junie must eat the woman's final meal over her corpse before sunrise — but every bite floods her with stolen memories proving her father's death ten years ago was no accident, and his killer is standing among the mourners.
