The Salt Gate Ledger
When a storm-broken archive washes up on the Portsmouth shore, Mara Vale finds a ledger that records debts owed by the dead to an old sea power beneath the harbour. To keep the city from being claimed by that power, she has to follow the ledger’s cryptic routes through tidal tunnels, ruined forts and a half-forgotten network of gates. The book is as much about the practical cost of magic as the danger of using it.
