A story about a woman who refuses to be sold, a man who refuses to be blamed for a fire he tried to stop, and a city learning that a coastline cannot be owned — only walked, truly, by the people who love it. Sera maps tide-lines that move. Dain holds ember that burns. Bound by an oath neither of them chose to be priced, they learn that ownership is not about holding on tighter. It is about choosing freely, paying honestly, and keeping your name when everyone else wants to file it away. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale of salt, fire, and the freedom to choose — from Free Minded Press, by DeAndrew Harris.
