The Remembered Street is out today
The Remembered Street is out today, on Kindle and in paperback. Book one of The Underloam. Some cities forget on purpose. Edda Mercer remembers what they buried. When she hauls a forgotten boy out of the dark and into the light, she saves him. She also draws the eyes of the Sextons: the ancient order that keeps the world thin, quiet, and forgetting, the order that has hunted her kind to the last for six hundred years. They know what she is before she does. And the First Sexton, the man who should order her buried, looks at her muddy hands and her unburied past, and lets her live. Why? That is the question the book ends on, and I am not going to help you with it. What I will tell you is what the series promises and keeps. No fire, no prophecy, no wizard school. The palette is fog, silt, brick and cold water, and it never breaks character. A found family, each missing a different piece of themselves, whose warmth is real and load-bearing. Real stakes and real grief, never graphic. And a marvel never arrives without its cost in the same breath: the drowned street is beautiful, and it is also a grave with the lights still on. I would rather you knew Edda than knew me. Start with her.
