The Tax Collector's Ledger
On the eve of the spring tithe, the royal tax collector's ledger has gone missing. Without it, no one remembers who owes what—and some powerful families are very eager for this confusion to remain. Track down the stolen book through taverns, counting houses, and shadowy alleys, and decide whether to restore the old debts or rewrite the town's obligations.
