The Orchard of Unburied Names
In the frost-bitten kingdom of Vael Arken, the dead do not rest unless their names are spoken by the living. When a condemned scribe is ordered to erase a traitor from the royal records, she discovers an orchard where forgotten names grow as black fruit, each one heavy with memory, guilt, and power. To survive the king’s cruelty and her own buried crime, she must decide whether remembrance is mercy, punishment, or the sharpest form of rebellion.
