One soul. Two poets. Three centuries apart, writing the same ending for the same woman — and neither one asked first.

In 1578, Pierre de Ronsard, the most celebrated poet in France, wrote a sequence of sonnets for a grieving young noblewoman named Hélène de Surgères. He imagined her old — sitting by a fire, spinning wool, remembering too late the man who had loved her. The verses made her immortal. They also decided, in advance, exactly how her story would end.

In 1893, William Butler Yeats sat down to write his own poem for a different woman entirely — Maud Gonne, the Irish revolutionary who had already refused him more than once. He believed he was writing something new. He was, without knowing it, completing a pattern begun three centuries before, for a woman he had never heard of.

They are the same soul.

Somewhere between the pages of two of the most beloved poems ever written in French and English, an agreement has been quietly forming — a proposal, not yet a fact, about who this woman is allowed to become. Hélène spends a lifetime learning to resist it, one plain, unpoetic page at a time. Maud inherits the same fight without asking for it: borrowed memories, a photograph that develops wrong, a séance that delivers a message from across three centuries — do not let the poem finish you.

Between them stands the House of Margins, a library that should not exist, where every life a famous poem displaced is shelved and kept. And administering it all: the Corrector, courteous, exact, and incapable of lying — who insists it has caused none of this, and might even be telling the truth.

And of Their Shadows Deep is a story about the difference between being remembered and being known; about two women, five decades and three centuries apart, discovering that a poem can propose a woman's fate, but it cannot make her agree to it. It is historical fantasy built from real lives, real poems, and one small, devastating flaw that neither Ronsard nor Yeats ever noticed they'd left behind.

A Far Away Places novel. Stands alone. No poem gets the last word.
