Two lives. Two choices. One world sliding towards disaster.
Before the Brittle Sea is a free prequel novella set in the years before The Brittle Saga Trilogy.
William Harker grows up believing survival is a transaction. In the shipyards of New York, Liverpool, and Belfast, he learns how ambition is rewarded, how silence is bought, and how easily a man can become useful to those who value profit over people.
In Ukraine, Magda Asparov faces a harsher truth. Survival is not granted. It is claimed. As power tightens its grip, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice, and what she will not surrender, no matter the cost.
Their stories unfold separately, but the forces shaping them are the same. Corruption. Debt. Compromise. And a world racing towards catastrophe.
Before the Brittle Sea can be read on its own, or as the opening chapter to The Brittle Saga Trilogy, which continues in The Brittle Sea.
Genre: Historical Romance
