About this ebook
She arrives to closed gates, delayed supply boats, and neighbors wondering whether they will still be able to reach the market tomorrow.
The island’s crossings depend on Iven’s divine mark. The King who granted that authority is calling it back, and his claim reaches into bridges, harbor approaches, and household passages people have used for years.
Keeping those routes open will take more than a better map. Etta and her neighbors need boats, timber, reliable records, and agreements they can live with after the emergency ends.
Iven faces a decision no one can make for him. Holding on to his power may preserve the very arrangement threatening their home. Giving it up could leave him unable to protect the people who have come to depend on him.
Etta loves him. That doesn’t make either choice safe.
The fourth book in The Unwritten Coast follows a community rebuilding its way forward and a young couple learning what they can ask of each other when love cannot settle the cost.
