The sea took the lower town first, then the chapel, then the names. Every spring tide the tide-reader of Orleske reads the waterline like scripture, and the town answers: returned, or absent. This year the water brings back a name that was closed twelve years ago, and the fee for reopening it is a name nobody has paid yet.
Vesper, the tide-reader's ledger is the best magic system I have read this year because it is not magic, it is bookkeeping with a body count. The last line is perfect. Complete it again, please.
