Early draft
The Salt Road to Kinsale
In the winter after the Williamite wars, a former mapmaker is sent south with a half-burned chart that may lead to a hidden French landing place on the Irish coast. He expects to be tracing old roads and ruined forts, but the journey pulls him into smugglers, informers, and a family feud that has survived the war itself.
