The Farrier’s Forge of Echoes
“Iron keeps its shape. It was never meant to keep a village’s secrets.”
Rowan Vale knows the language of iron: the heat it needs, the weight it carries, the sound of a clean strike. Then a horseshoe answers his hammer with a voice that should not be there.
Across Bracken Hollow, strange beetles are leaving tools and gates dangerously magnetic. Horses shy from familiar tack. And the metal Rowan has spent his life shaping is beginning to remember.
With apothecary Elspeth Thorne beside him, Rowan follows the echoes into a mystery woven through the village’s everyday work and the old forest at its edge. Someone once made a bargain with this land. The evidence has been hiding in plain sight, in the things people use and trust every day.
Rowan has always been the man who fixes what is broken. This time, keeping everyone safe may mean admitting what he hears, asking for help, and questioning the very work that has made him indispensable.
Return to Bracken Hollow for a quietly mysterious fantasy of craft, creatures, tender companionship and a village learning to listen. The Farrier’s Forge of Echoes is Book Two of Bracken Hollow Tales. Begin with The Little Apothecary for Lost Creatures.
