Coeur D'alene: A Cracked Blade And A Silent River

Two bad omens in one morning: claim stakes on the sandbar where the river splits, and a crack running down Wren's singing sword. The river spirits stop talking. So the three friends do the only thing left, stand guard and wait for whoever planted those stakes to come collect. Chapter six of Boundwater is tense and patient.
