The Salt-Warden's Long Winter
A Classic High Fantasy Sweeping Epic RomanceBy Jonas Pell
Length22h 21m
About this audiobook
Every village in the western marches draws a name each autumn. One name goes to the wall. Halvor, a blacksmith's son, has never seen the wall up close, and by the time he reaches it the sea has already decided not to freeze. Margit should have gone home in spring. She stayed, because last winter was short and the salt is cracking, and because a warden who leaves a broken wall has to live with the consequence. Now there are two of them on a thousand-year-old rampart of packed salt, patching it by hand, night and day, against a sea that never sleeps. They fall into an arrangement neither of them names. When the eastern tower opens, Margit goes into the water, and Halvor learns what the wall has always been: not a wall. A habit the sea cannot pass. A sweeping epic of one winter, two wardens, and forty years of salt.
