The Widow's Ledger
Synopsis
Signy Draskovich weighs grain at 3 a.m. in a scale house on the Twin Ports harbor, and for six years her ledger — Book Seven — has quietly recorded the difference between what the Draskovich family declared and what it actually shipped. When her husband's debt comes due, his mother trades Signy in marriage to Casimir Ostrovan, the harbor pilot who inherited the family that everyone says put Emeric in the canal. Forced into the same house, the same name, and eventually the same side, they follow the numbers in Book Seven to the person who really signed the order — and Signy learns the last entry in her own ledger lists her as collateral.
