About this book
In the port city of Greyport, the pawnshops deal in the only collateral that matters: memories, years, luck, shadows, voices, true names. Mara Ellis collects the debts nobody else will touch. When the harbormaster dies with every vault in the city emptied and no signature on record, the trail runs through Mara's own past — a jar of pawned memories, a mother who was more than she seemed, and an account the sea itself is waiting to settle. Some debts come due at the turn of the tide.
