Chapter 38 - What the Harbor Remembered12 min read
Today at 8:10 PMWhen the tide withdrew, it left six neat footprints across the archive floor, all leading toward the shelf of unnamed bones.

Reader note
Ember Atlas reads like someone bound a field notebook inside an empire-sized pressure cooker. The map reveals in chapter five are absurdly good.
