The Drowned Charter

Maren Voss won the fishing rights, but the sea is failing and villages are rationing. Parliament moves to re-enroll the Sea Charter, a measure that would erase the obligation it buried centuries ago. With nine days to stop it, Maren follows a route hidden in Parliament's records to a covenant site beyond Caldenmere, where the sea remembers what the institution would rather forget. Bringing proof home means relying on Caelan Dantris, the Oathkeeper whose relationship with Maren has become political ammunition. If they fail, a buried lie will become law.
