On the western shore, Kari has kept the coast's records for eleven years. She holds four ledgers: four shores, four hauntings, four accounts of what the sea has taken. Then a fifth ledger appears above the tideline - dry, warm, and blank.
Soon the sea stops moving. The nets come up clean. The dead do not rot, food does not spoil, and footprints stay sharp in the sand for weeks. At first the shore calls it mercy.
Then the daylight begins to shorten. The horizon draws closer. And the village - decent, careful, reasonable people who have counted their stores and shared them fairly all winter - starts asking what the sea is owed, and what they have left that is worth the offering.
Kari has one winter to learn what her books have always been. Because her neighbours have already begun to work out the price, they are going to arrive at it kindly, by a show of hands, in daylight - and the youngest child on the shore is the one who follows her along the tideline every morning.
"It is not a record. It is an account, and it is open."
THE SERPENT is the fifth and final book of The Drowned Gods - a Norse folk horror series in the tradition of The Witch, Hereditary and Midsommar. The complete series is available now in Kindle Unlimited.
