The Seven Roots of Stillwater Fen

About this book

Three rainless seasons have left Stillwater Fen’s floating villages stranded above silent root-rivers. Marda Seln, a one-eyed boatwright who once taught half the fen to read the water, has spent years refusing to speak about the old channels. But when her young apprentice finds proof that seven buried roots may still carry the fen’s lifeblood, Marda must lead an uneasy expedition across drying islands, broken canopy bridges, and villages divided by rationing. Joined by a daring courier, a frightened bellkeeper, and a child determined to be more than an apprentice, Marda searches for the knowledge the fen has misplaced. As a powerful warden promises safety through control, the travelers learn that saving a marsh may require more than finding water: it may require teaching its people to trust one another again.
