Sunken County
(2025)(The third book in the RPG Oathrunner series)
A novel by Bogdan Chugunov and Craig Zerf
Roads end at the waterline. Duty doesn’t.
Oathrunner Miles Kade, Lanternwright Tamsin Rook, and one judgmental Alsatian named Ghost take the lane where no lanes exist—across a drowned county of levees, ferries, and idols that listen. The Covenant holds in the city… but out here the night has tides.
Dock ‘fees’ smell like tithes. Deputies do spot-checks with borrowed authority. Arc-eels learn the beat of the wake. And somewhere under rotten trestles, Null-marked caches hum for anyone reckless enough to sing their song.
So the crew rewrites the rules: pike squares on deck, bell codes for water, a Wake Baton that stitches six-second pockets between pilings—no duets, ever. While the Wrecker limps back with new teeth and a third force buys sacred scrap, Miles has one job: move medicine without making gods.
If you loved the city run of Lantern Runner (Book 2), this marsh arc raises the stakes: bigger predators, thinner margins, and a public that learns to choose roads over gates—even when the road is water.
Expect: tactical convoy fantasy, found-family competence, child-height Charters, honest politics, and set pieces that snap like line on a winch.
Grab Sunken County now and ride the night run: six-second bursts, perfect bells, and a dog who can stare a riot into behaving.
Genre: Science Fiction
