YA QUEST FANTASY · THE EQUIVALENCE COAST
The Weight Compass
A law that says no one can undo their own mistake. A girl whose hands the law has never noticed.
Wren Ashcombe has spent her whole life being the ordinary one: a coldsmith's apprentice in a fishing village on the Marrow Coast, patient hands, no working of her own, glad to leave magic to everyone else. Then her sister Marren breaks the Closed Circle — the one law that says you can never undo your own doing — and starts turning to glass, one inch at a time.
The Marrow Coast has stood behind the boundary stones for three generations, the Order insisting, year after year, that the Grey beyond them is bound for good and the stones will hold another hundred. Wren is about to learn how much of that was never true.
Book one of the Equivalence Coast series: a debt that isn't hers to pay, a bargain that costs more than anyone will admit to, and an Order more committed to hiding its failures than to keeping the coast safe.
