The Salt Kingdom

di Cal Morris (Autore)

Black Lantern Publishing, 2026

For two hundred years the island of Saltheim has thrived on a simple arrangement. The island produces salt. The world sends grain. Every ship that arrives keeps the system alive. Every cargo of grain keeps the city fed. When the ships stop coming, everything begins to break. Harbor Master Toren Vale notices the first signs in the shipping logs—late arrivals, strange route changes, and quiet warnings from captains who know the sea better than the charts. Something has shifted in the ocean currents that guide the trade routes, and the consequences are already rippling outward. On the salt flats above the city, worker Rina Ashmark watches the price of bread climb week by week as supplies tighten and wages stay the same. In the palace, Queen Maelis Ardin begins to see patterns in the reports arriving at her desk—patterns that suggest Saltheim's centuries-old advantage may be disappearing. As trade falters and grain becomes scarce, merchants maneuver, foreign powers take interest, and the fragile balance that built the island's prosperity begins to unravel. Because the sea is older than the records. And the currents have changed. The Salt Kingdom is a gripping political and economic thriller set in a meticulously imagined maritime world, where logistics, power, and survival collide when the foundations of a trading empire begin to shift.
