Excerpt

The footnote should not have existed. Amara traced the ink with one gloved finger and felt the archive air go colder. Lucian Voss arrived the next afternoon with rain on his coat and a voice that treated every sentence like a contract. He did not ask if she understood the ledger. He asked if she was ready to inherit it.
