Dead Letters
The Last Route, Book 1
The post always gets through.
Now available.
Wren Ashwick arrives on the Last Route bitter, exiled, and counting the days until she can transfer somewhere that matters. Then she finds a hedgehog sleeping in her satchel. His name is Thistle. He has opinions.
Then the letters start: addressed to the dead, tugging at the route like a hand on her sleeve. Between protocol and compassion, Wren chooses compassion... and meets Rowan, the quiet hedge witch who sees more than she says.
