The True Line
Runa Brack's father died because a survey report lied. Now the frontier's failing Ward is forcing her to trust the one man she has every reason not to.
This time, the Ward isn't only making monsters. It is stripping magic from the people meant to hold Hollowfen together.
Corin Wexley arrives in The Pride carrying two things Runa despises on principle: an archivist's ledger and the family name blamed for Hollowfen's collapse. He is determined to uncover what happened at Halewatch. She is determined not to let another piece of paper get someone killed.
Then living binders begin losing their magic.
As a new section of the Ward decays and a monstrous fused herd closes on Salt Cross, Runa and Corin are pushed into an investigation built from damaged records, half-answers, and evidence that refuses to resolve cleanly. Corin keeps telling her the truth even when it makes him look worse. Runa keeps testing him and finding, to her growing irritation, that he holds.
Trust was never supposed to feel this much like desire.
But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous certainty becomes. To survive what is coming, Runa may have to do the one thing steel has never required of her, choose what is true before she can prove it.
The True Line is Book Two of Hollowfen, an adult frontier romantasy with open-door romance, found-family dynamics, and a complete HEA for the featured couple.
