The Binding Margin

By Rui Batista

History does not always rewrite the past. Sometimes it waits.

Seven years after a killing, a clerk receives an instruction: assemble a complete compilation concerning the late Dona In s de Castro.

The evidence was destroyed. The witnesses have recanted. The Church will not confirm what it will not deny. But the king has already acted. The executions are done. The tombs are being carved.

Now the documents must catch up.

Working from fragments, the clerk builds a record that must be complete, defensible, and certain; whether certainty exists or not.

The second volume in the Years of Consequence series, The Binding Margin follows the quiet labor behind authority, where omissions are preserved, doubts are managed, and history is shaped into a form that can hold.
