WHERE THE SNOW CLAIMS GROUND
BOOK SIX Elias Mercer has already given up his contract, his name, and the coordinates he was ordered to file. What he has never had to give up is himself, sworn under an outsider's authority, in a room he cannot walk out of on a leg that still fails him some mornings. Netsuwa Blackwater has spent a season and a half hiding him, fighting for him, and, harder than either, learning to let him carry a share of that danger himself. Now Captain Josiah Redd's inquiry into a season of violence gives Elias exactly what he asked for: a chance to tell the truth in front of someone with the power to act on it. It also gives Whitfield Coe exactly what he has been waiting for. The evidence that surfaces at the hearing is not the kind either of them prepared for. It is patient, precise, and built from something private that should never have left Netsuwa's hands. When it lands, it does not just threaten Elias's freedom, it threatens to rewrite everything the two of them have survived together into something neither of them recognizes. Netsuwa's answer, given in front of a council she has spent five books rebuilding trust with, costs her more than she has ever spent on him before, and she does not hesitate to spend it. The Washoe council, forced into a unity neither Damiya nor Howsa ever wanted to need, closes ranks around a woman they were only recently ready to distrust. But trust from a council cannot stop a wagon from leaving for Carson at first light, with Elias inside it and armed men on either side. What does Netsuwa do when the law itself, not the mountain, not the syndicate, becomes the thing standing between her and the man she chose?
