The German Saint
Johann Robert Mueller was supposed to be dead.
Buried under a false story and mourned under a lie, the preacher who lost his wife, his daughter, and nearly his own life is pulled back from the grave by a woman the town fears as the Black Water Witch. Hidden from Braken Harbor and kept alive in darkness, Johann recovers only to discover that the evil which destroyed his family still walks openly through the town's streets, churches, docks, and respectable houses.
He does not go to war against an idea. He goes to war against names.
As Johann and Tessa begin striking back, Black Harbor starts to bleed. Predators vanish. Secrets surface. Hidden rooms, false ledgers, and protected men rise into view. And as the town's lower corruption cracks open, others are drawn into the fight-most importantly Clara, a girl the harbor could not break, and Ike, a boy who hears more than he should.
What begins as vengeance becomes something larger and more dangerous: the first judgment against a town built on silence, trafficking, and carefully arranged lies.
But when one powerful line escapes upward, Johann learns the hardest truth of all:
breaking Black Harbor is only the beginning.
