Ned Garth

Lieutenant Pack and Ned Garth stood above a deep English bay while rain and mist hid the brig that was trying to clear the headland. She has tacked, Ned; if the land stays hidden, the stranger will be on the rocks before the crew can read the shore. You step into this one-chapter preview with Ned Garth at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The bay still roared beyond the walls, but one life lay under a dry roof and the next question waited for morning. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
