The Ninth Bell

Kethra is a city of eight bells, one for each watch of the day. Lawyers set contracts by them. Lovers meet by them. Executions wait for them. When a ninth bell rings at midnight, no one can find the tower it came from, and Edda's map is the only document that marks it. The Ninth Bell is the middle of the road: longer, stranger, and the book readers write to me about most. Start with The Ashway first. This one will not make sense otherwise, and I worked hard on that. Signed on the title page and shipped with a Kethra bell-schedule card.
