Book Two of the Bellwether Trilogy. Folk magic, a failing coast, and a debt older than the town.
On the Virginia coast, a three-hundred-year-old tide mill has begun turning its great wheel backward, grinding against its own grain with no water to drive it, and the marsh that keeps the town from drowning is going quiet.
The orchard is saved. What Nell Hazelwood inherited was a war. The old covenants that keep the valleys lucky are failing one by one, and the salvage men who profit from broken land are always there first, buying frightened families out of bargains older than their names. At the mill, Nell and Eli Mercer find a grieving millwright, a grandson who signed the wrong paper in the wrong month, and a coast being quietly drained of everything that ever held the sea back.
Saving the mill means reviving a lapsed rite, teaching a broken young man to hear the tide again, and beating a storm the salvage trust means to use as cover. But behind the salvage men waits a courteous stranger with an older claim: a debt written into the very first bargain the founding families ever made, and a wrong that will take more than luck to set right.
Not everyone the valley loves can be saved. Some accounts close only in salt.
