The Salt Glass Lantern
In a coastal town where the sea fog can carry memories, seventeen-year-old Elin Voss finds a lantern made of salt glass that reveals the things people have tried to forget. When her younger brother disappears after following a voice out onto the cliffs, Elin is forced to bargain with the old tide magic that keeps the town safe. The more she uncovers, the clearer it becomes that the town's peace has always depended on a quiet kind of cruelty.
