The Lanterns of Hollowmere
In a rain-soaked border town where lanterns are used to bind the dead to the living, a meticulous binder discovers that the old wards are failing. When a stubborn court surveyor arrives to map the town for a levy claim, the two are forced into an uneasy alliance as the lantern magic begins to wake something that should have stayed buried. The book follows their attempt to keep Hollowmere intact while deciding how much of the past deserves to survive.
