Keepers of the North Gate · Book Three
Book 3 of the Keepers of the North Gate. A completed six-book found-family fantasy saga.
A Turning of Tides
The count reaches the sea.
Four hundred miles from the valley, the fishing town of Saltwick keeps its own books: a wall of names for the ones the sea kept, a wreck the harbor never stopped mourning, and a book of record where nothing that matters goes unwritten.
When the valley's strange dusk-count comes down the coast road, the harbor does what harbors do. It takes soundings. What it finds will split the wardens' table: frost that writes, a night that listens, and a family that treats the drowned as neighbors who are merely hard to reach.
Because the sea has been keeping the harbor's lost for a hundred years. And it has been waiting, patient as tide, for somebody with the nerve to keep them back.
Two towns. One count. The tide is turning.
