About this book
Ashglass City keeps its promises in glass. Mara Vey knows how easily a record can be changed, and what it costs when the wrong people control the wording. When a forged charter threatens Glasshouse Row's legal standing, Mara must work with Caelan Rusk, the inspector who came to arrest her. Their evidence lies in dated copies, a disputed witness record, and an ash-hidden seam. The deadline is the first measurable ash at the Hall's roof marker. Mara and Caelan can stop the charter only if they agree on what the record proves and what it cannot. But Mara has kept one earlier edit from him. Revealing it may cost her a client's trust; hiding it may let the city strip the residents of recognized rights. An adult romantasy with an evidence-driven civic mystery, a slow-burn, medium-heat romance, and a satisfying ending for the central couple.
