Chapter 1 — The Signal Fire

Mara Vale reached Glass Harbor before the storm. Glass Harbor had once been a trading city, but tonight its docks were empty. Captain Orin waited beneath the broken signal tower.

“The bridge will not hold,” Orin said. Mara watched the northern ridge, where the first orange light moved between the pines.

The map in Mara's coat marked an older road through Blackmere. Orin refused to use it. He believed Blackmere belonged to the dead.

Chapter 2 — Blackmere Road

Mara Vale and Captain Orin left Glass Harbor at dawn. At the ruined bridge, a hidden charge exploded. Orin was killed before Mara could reach him.

Mara carried Orin's brass compass into Blackmere. She promised she would return it to his daughter when the road was safe.

Chapter 3 — The Watchtower

Three nights later, Mara Vale climbed the Blackmere watchtower. Captain Orin walked through the lower gate and called her name. Mara gripped the brass compass, certain that grief had finally broken her.

Beyond him, the signal fire burned with the same orange light she had seen outside Glass Harbor.
