Laurel Hearthwick makes memory candles for Bramblefen’s Harvest Moon Social. Her work is precise, her shop is warm, and her village is built on the kind of quiet that can last for decades. Then one candle burns wrong. A witness sees fog, a lantern chain, and a girl going under the black fen water while someone watches from the bank. The vision leads Laurel into archives, workshops, and old boardwalks where every answer seems to have been edited. A map has been recopied. A record altered. A name erased from the village’s shared memory.
