The Ledger of Dead Kin

About this book

Thirty years after the ecological collapse of the coastal civilization, an aging survivor named Silas Abernathy lives in isolated exile within a concrete bunker. When a young archivist arrives to document the true history of the fallen Sanctuary, Silas recounts his family's desperate struggle to survive under the brutal regime of a utopian dictator. As Silas spins a harrowing tale of sacrifice, paternal devotion, and impossible choices, the archivist begins to notice fractures in the old man's narrative. Hidden ledgers and contradictory physical evidence suggest a much darker reality about what Silas actually did to keep his daughter alive during the purges. The novel is a tense, claustrophobic exploration of memory, familial trauma, and the horrific lengths a person will go to justify the moral costs of survival in a dying world.
