Vorrengarde

In Meadwyn's Coin City, survival is paid in fear and rumor. When insurgents hit the Market Ward, Pine Halveth and his wife Lavy realize one mistake, one uncovered detail about their daughter Rose, can turn a bad day into a lost lifetime.

VORRENGARDE: The Book of Rose, follows a family trying to stay invisible at the exact moment the world stops pretending it is stable. Pine Halveth wakes to a warning sound in the building and to the rules Meadwyn never explains out loud: move early, keep your head down, and never give strangers a reason to look twice. Lavy makes those rules physical, scarf tight, hood up, hands ready, because the city has started to "screen" people and the wrong rumor can turn a child into contraband.

Then the Market Ward erupts. Gray-scarved insurgents cut through the crowd, gunfire splits the morning, and the Halveth family is taken into the city's underside while the Coinwave broadcasts call the streets an active warzone. Trapped among captives and watched by people who measure value with hungry eyes, Rose is forced to learn what fear sounds like indoors, what loyalty costs, and how fast a secret can become a target.

This is a tense, ground-level survival story about family, prejudice, and the moment a city decides what it is willing to do to keep breathing.
