The person
Edda counts missing rings in the palace cedars and treats each as evidence of an unrecorded taking. She intends to publish the survey before her coronation can make it a state secret. Her father asks for a year to protect the yards. She has offered him one season, knowing that a northern season is shorter.

Deren came from Cedarterrace and still carries a pitch-stained folding rule to formal dinners.
The western crown began as a compact between forest wardens and three coastal guilds.
Ysabet opened the warmwood groves during the refugee winter of 661 and has spent twenty-three years defending the consequences.
Bram sees abandoned slipways where his sister sees a guilty industry.
The cedar capital where every royal decree is read beneath a living tree.
Hedra records the sound of furnace valves by making notches in a wooden flute.
