The Last Borrowed Name
In Glasgow, a tired library archivist discovers that certain names can be borrowed, traded, and stolen through the city’s older books and records. When her own name is taken, she has to navigate a hidden network of debt, memory, and street-level magic before she disappears from every life that still knows her. The deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes that the city remembers more than its people do.
