Virginia Readers: Painted Stakes On A Frontier Ridge

Paper deeds or the memory of the land: the town of Cinder Bench has to choose. It starts at dawn, when a line of painted iron stakes appears across the ridge with strangers' boot prints all around, and Marshal Wren Cotter's blade hums and tugs the wrong way. Boundwater Episode 2 is land-rights drama with a touch of magic. Richmond, Norfolk and Roanoke readers can read the chapter at no cost from the ad link.
