The Ledger of Living Sky

About this book

Narrated in the first person, this New Adult novel follows twenty-two-year-old Linnea Barrows, the quiet, fearful keeper of the Canopy Archives aboard the Oakenward Generation Ring. Bound to a life of transcription and avoiding the spotlight, Linnea's world shifts when her grandmother's passing leads her to discover a sealed folio that contradicts the ring's most venerated historical texts. The original architects embedded a dormant atmospheric protocol meant to evolve their enclosed ecosystem, but centuries of rigid adherence to ancestral crop rotations have secretly begun to starve the biosphere. Facing opposition from her orthodox brother, Gideon, Linnea forms cautious alliances with Kaelen Hargrove, a pragmatic irrigation mechanic, and Elara Cresswell, a ceremonial chronicler harboring her own doubts about their cultural stasis. Across a single agricultural cycle, Linnea must step out of the archives, piece together fragmented engineering manifests, and orchestrate a peaceful revolution during the Seasonal Alignment Festival, proving that true reverence for the past requires actively cultivating the future.
