About

Mira Ashcale collects debts for a living. Not the kind that come with threats and bruised knuckles the kind written in Tallies, logged in ledgers, and enforced by an Accord that doesn't care whether you understood what you were signing. Three years into her apprenticeship, she's good at the work. Good enough to notice when the numbers don't add up. Good enough to feel, underneath the ordinary ink of an ordinary slip, something that shouldn't be there: a thread still pulled taut on a debt the ledger says is paid. She writes it up. Dates, details, no impressions. She doesn't tell Joren everything. She should probably tell Joren everything. The Ledger of Salt and Iron is a low-fantasy progression story about a debt collector who can see what the system is actually doing and what it's hiding. Built on a magic system where every Tally borrowed has a cost, a clock, and a consequence, and where the most dangerous thing Mira can do isn't cast at all. It's look too closely.
