Science Fiction | Fantasy Historical

An epic medieval fantasy novella where a woman with a gift for numbers descends into a mountain mine—and uncovers something far darker than slipping profits.

Some debts are paid in coin. Some are paid in blood.

Erwinna is sharp as a ledger and pressed to the edge of ruin. Married to the earl who leads a sprawling mining venture deep beneath the mountains, she uses her talent for numbers to balance the books—and to uncover the strange clues haunting the tunnels.

But the deeper she probes, the more the clues point to something sinister: a supernatural lineage shadowing the mine. And the earl’s wife.

As accidents mount and rescue dwindles, Erwinna must navigate a web of superstition, danger, and dampened hope. Some say her presence in the cavernous belly of the earth brings bad luck. Others whisper the mine itself is testing her, tallying the fate of every survivor in a brutal, unkind ledger of its own.

With rains threatening to flood the underground warren, every calculation becomes a lifeline. Every number a warning. And the final tally may claim them all.
