The Ledger Girl

About this book

In an alternative 1896 where the Russian Empire still rules the Pacific Northwest through a suffocating bureaucracy, a cynical teenage clerk discovers a fatal discrepancy in the colonial ledgers. Knowing her marginalized family is marked for deportation, she begins forging official documents, descending into a dangerous underworld of information brokering. She quickly realizes that in a society where paper is power, erasing enemies and rewriting reality is a seductive game. As tensions boil over during the annual Icebreak Festival, her web of lies collapses, forcing her into a desperate corner where she must weigh the survival of her own bloodline against the identities of thousands of citizens.
