First draft
The Salt Reliquary
In a rain-battered coastal kingdom, old saints are said to have been buried with salt that keeps the dead from rising. When the reliquaries begin to empty, a quiet archivist is drawn into the work of tracing who is taking them and why the sea has started returning things it should have kept. The investigation leads from ruined chapels to smugglers' coves and into a history the kingdom has spent generations trying not to remember.
