A Charter for the Uncounted

Neren Voss once certified a transfer he did not know how to question. Now he keeps a small public reading room where every copy has a source and every reader can ask for the page behind it. Ader Kells, his oldest friend and the city's most trusted hearing herald, has not forgotten the report that cost their friendship its easy footing.

When the proposed Single Source Charter threatens to make the central register the only record the city will accept, the two men uncover a date that cannot fit, a transfer route repeated across jurisdictions, and a public hearing record that contradicts its own pane. Their evidence must survive a system built to call every copy suspect. Neren will have to name his earlier omission in public; Ader will have to make room for what the record cannot prove.

Adult romantasy with an evidence-led city mystery, an M/M friends-to-lovers romance, and a satisfying series finale.
