First draft
In a coastal town where the dead are said to keep their own ledgers, a weary bookbinder finds that every name erased from the records leaves something living behind. When the sea starts returning the forgotten in broken, half-human forms, she is forced to follow the trail into the marshes and the old salt chapel at Blackmere. The deeper she goes, the more it becomes clear that the town’s history has been edited as carefully as any manuscript.
