Note from the author:
I like stories that feel found—like a ticket stub in a ledger or a name etched into iron. Unhidden Legacies grew from that feeling: the sense that we don’t own the past we carry; we just hold it for a while. If the books work, it’s because they let you do the investigating. I’ll leave the light low, the clues honest, and the truth slightly to the side—close enough to touch, just far enough to wonder. Thanks for reading. — D. M. Ashford
