Paper conservator Maren Ilves is restoring her runaway mother's ink-stained journal when her workshop floor dissolves into seawater and carries her to Halvane, an archipelago whose tides are written in ink on fragile seaweed-paper ledgers. The ledgers are crumbling, and the only person bound to them is Tavian Orrel, the guarded Tide-Warden whose life fades with every failing page. He recognizes her mother's handwriting at once, and keeps it a secret.
Bound by a working contract, Maren learns to mend pages without erasing what they remember, and each repair softens the ink creeping up Tavian's wrist. But a mended page holds only when no one is hiding anything, and every page takes a memory from her in exchange. Surrounded by a found family of islanders and pressed by Ysolde Karrow, a ledger-keeper with her own grief, Maren and Tavian fall into a slow-burning love that neither can afford. When their secrets finally collide, the Oath Page tears and the choice to stay becomes the hardest thing either of them has ever written. A slow-burn isekai romance about repair, honest love, and a home written by two hands.
