What The Water Holds: The Teapot Knows Your Name Series Book 2

The canal at Halvenmere has been frozen solid for thirty-seven days.

When the ice finally breaks, the first boats of spring arrive carrying more than cargo.
Maren Solly has spent a year learning the rhythms of Halvenmere: the moods of the canal, the quiet rituals of the Keepership, and the strange silences of the whispering teapot that knows far too much about the people who pass through the gates.

But thawing water has a way of releasing what was buried.

When canal engineer Cormac Tack arrives at the East Gate with a damaged boat and questions, the teapot begins to stir around a silence older than Maren expected - eleven years of estrangement between Cormac and the father who still keeps the North Gate.

The town has waited a long time for one of them to cross that distance.

Warm, atmospheric, and threaded with quiet magic, Still Water is a cozy fantasy mystery about buried truths, second chances, and the courage it takes to return and to start new journeys.

Perfect for readers who love gentle mysteries, enchanted small towns, and emotionally rich cozy fantasy filled with secrets, tea, and slow-burning magic.
