What The Border Hides

The border was supposed to be empty.For a century, the Hall's maps have shown nothing beyond the southern markers-no settlements, no roads, no history worth recording. But when the treaty markers begin to fail and Hall enforcers vanish without a trace, Marlow Senn and Roan Kessler are sent south to discover what the kingdom has spent a hundred years refusing to see.Their journey takes them beyond the last mapped road, where ink disappears from pages, wells turn strange, and something in the wilderness sings across the wind.With their bond tested by fear, uncertainty, and choices neither of them can make alone, Marlow and Roan must rely on a border guide who distrusts the Hall, an old trail of forbidden maps, and the reluctant help of Odile Renn-the woman whose past actions may have helped awaken what lies beneath the land.Because the thing waiting beyond the border is not simply a broken treaty.It is older than the Accord itself.And it has been waiting.As the truth behind the kingdom's peace begins to emerge, Marlow and Roan discover that some promises cannot simply be enforced, some debts cannot be erased, and some borders were never built to keep people out.What the Border Hides is Book Two of the Tallyment Series-a dark adult romantasy of forbidden magic, political intrigue, slow-burn romance, magical bonds, ancient secrets, and the dangerous cost of uncovering what history chose to forget.
