The Lantern Archive
When seventeen-year-old Mara Vale finds that the city’s lighthouse keeps records of every promise ever broken in its harbour, she accidentally frees a tide-bound spirit that starts collecting debts from the living. To put it back, she has to work with the one boy she mistrusts most, a dockside apprentice who knows more about the archive than he admits.
