First draft
The Margins of the Tide
In a coastal town where the library’s catalogue has begun quietly rewriting itself, a proofreader named Elin discovers that altered books are changing what people remember. As the sea keeps advancing and the town’s records become less reliable by the day, she has to decide whether preserving the past means fixing the text or letting it remain uncertain. The novel moves between bookish detail, local weather, and the uneasy business of deciding what counts as real.
