Overview

1066 changed history. But it didn't kill the darkness. In a Commonwealth forged when Harold Godwinson killed William the Conqueror, a single oath has shaped the nation: No man or maid shall be yoked. Now, a shadow faction means to turn that oath into a chain. When a Sea-Warden washes up dead on Dogger Bank and the lights of Lunden flicker out, Kade Ælfson, an ex-Huscarl turned investigator, is called in. Paired with Brynja Hadley, a relentless reporter, they follow a trail from gull-lashed catwalks to the dust of oak-shelved archives. They discover a conspiracy centered on BlueAnchor Systems-an energy giant hiding a terrifying secret. A swan-sealed letter has surfaced, poised to legalize ""temporary labour""-a polite word for the return of slavery. The deeper Kade and Brynja dig, the more the past fights back: Regulators who tidy reality to match the record. A firebombing at the Royal Archive. A plan to blackout the Folkmoot during the decisive vote. To stop a velvet-gloved coup, they must prove the forgery in public-before the lights, and the law, go out for good. Perfect for fans of The Yiddish Policemen's Union and The City & The City.
