First draft
The Salt Road to Berwick
In the winter after the Jacobite rising, a Newcastle mapmaker is forced to guide a smuggler and a government courier along the Northumberland coast to recover a stolen packet before it reaches the wrong hands. The journey turns into a test of loyalty, memory and survival as old enmities and new bargains follow them through tide, ice and border country. What begins as a practical errand becomes a long retreat from the consequences of other people's ambitions.
