ALREADY (Feature · Horror, Domestic thriller · Available · ~95 min)

SYNASTRY (Feature · Horror, Domestic thriller · Available · ~95 min)
Lonely and convinced fate can be edited, a woman casts electional birth-chart "updates" to attract her ideal man. He arrives exactly as listed—and she keeps feeding the chart after she knows he isn’t human, because the match is too good to undo.

WIPE (Feature · Contained supernatural horror · Available · about 95 min · Ryujin)
A broke trauma-scene cleaner finds that when she scrubs a death scene spotless and wants what the dead left behind, the world forgets they ever lived, and everything they had becomes hers. Then she starts taking jobs before the bodies are cold.

READ BACK (Feature · Romantic comedy · Available · spec 100 pp · Ryujin)
A court reporter who has never once asked to go off the record falls for the flustered young lawyer whose every aside she must take down word for word, across eight sessions of a deposition over a celebrity chef’s stolen pepper sauce.

The Size of a Door (Facing Out · Book One · 20 chapters · 60,596 words)
On a cliffside guild coast where every working carries its price on a strip that faces out, a boy who was told to wait at the gate grows from eight to twelve learning to read the bill. Then a sold route leaves him one way to save a friend: his dead father's cracked knife, at a price of one memory.

The Second Date (Facing Out · Book Two · 21 chapters · 71,787 words)
In a dry country where water is sold sealed and a ruling lasts only until somebody cuts a later date, a boy raised on prices said aloud grows from twelve to eighteen still saying the bill out loud. Then a polite man in a clean gray coat starts asking for the party by the knife.

The Held Stretch (Facing Out · Book Three · 22 chapters · 76,469 words)
In a wet green country where an old road glows at night and each stretch must be fed slowly, a young man who still prices a lock out loud learns a keeper's rule: a name said backward can end a stretch for good. An order on that road calls holding a pulse a theft of years.

The Dry Sea (Facing Out · Book Four · 22 chapters · 77,527 words)
In a country of salt plates and buried jars, a young man who still writes every price on a list walks south with his friends until the land drops onto a sea's floor. Under the curve of a rib, a guild town called the Keel is warm at the back, and the question at the bottom of the list is what Bone work costs.

The Ladder Coast (Facing Out · Book Five · 22 chapters · 78,677 words)
A man who has spent a cool at the mouth of a rib walks north toward a wet wind and a sea he last saw at twelve. A factor named Wenlow is waiting at a well-house, offering work with no contract yet, and a ring on his hand is cut with a ladder of three rungs.

The Shelf Gardens (Facing Out · Book Six · 22 chapters · 65,127 words)
In a cliff shop with a child at the table learning strips, a letter says the lift in the hills runs this hot. A factor has been asking in the Keel for Names who can read a heart, and a girl of seven asks what a shelf is, and expects the answer.

The Short Clock (Facing Out · Book Seven · 22 chapters · 65,345 words)
On his sixty-second birthday, a man who still prices a brand by having it read aloud sits on a hemp cart while Bren, eight, names the cheaper job: pay the tax. In the shop Linn has already priced the afternoon strips, and Sira keeps the knife when the light turns.

### The Cutters' Roll (Books One to Seven · 22 chapters each · 493,055 words total)

Start with Book One, The Second Hand (/novels/the-second-hand). Reading order guide: /guides/the-cutters-roll-reading-order. Manuscripts are not public.

The Second Hand (The Cutters' Roll · Book One · 22 chapters · 70,117 words)
Linn (thirty-four) sits at the cliff shop in Hana's apron with Pell's list shut under a clean stone and prices a fisher's hire-coat collar whose clause is light and honest and whose maker line reads only *a Tally cutter*; she speaks that office-word at the wool and runs light backward and nothing happens, writes *Cannot unwind. First one.*, and tells Omber the coast has learned to take the name off the page.

Names in Metal (The Cutters' Roll · Book Two · 22 chapters · 69,728 words)
At the start of the hot the harbor opens a hire-coat court in the old net-shed, and Senna (twelve, unranked) comes as Linn's unpaid reader while Ilse Corvane files every case by number, never offers, and posts prices; Orlo Pask clerks; Linn reads strips facing out; Senna asks who cut a boy's mother's year-note and Corvane files the answer *not public*, teaching that open is not fair.

Half a Life (The Cutters' Roll · Book Three · 22 chapters · 70,190 words)
At nineteen Senna takes a reading job north to the Cold Sound with Saffi, reads Aske's seven well-stones by hand and tool on Grennet Holm, burns the nameless strangers onto the boat list by manners, and stays a year learning water (pushing fails; waiting works) while Saffi's kin sing rounds; a round of three (Saffi, Morna, Ivo) sweetens Brack Holm's salted well, and at body's twenty she holds light, stone, and water in one breath.

The Collar-Dogs (The Cutters' Roll · Book Four · 22 chapters · 70,602 words)
At twenty-eight (body 29½) Senna marries Hollis on the cliff — sheet facing out: her book and questions and the Ferrow bench; his second pair of eyes, a forge that lights in the wet, and every answer though she will want more — and Dace sends a horn-handled punch for that bench.

The Blind Bond (The Cutters' Roll · Book Five · 22 chapters · 70,002 words)
At forty (body 42½) Senna holds Juno Ellery's newborn in the net-shed — the held one, unnamed until the ninth day — and finds Teale's bond plate on *The Hum* (Tobin's old boat): front face a lawful share in hours on share-day; back face, blind and numbered, binds the holder *and heirs* for ever with the boat.

The Counting Floor (The Cutters' Roll · Book Six · 22 chapters · 72,052 words)
At fifty-eight (body sixty-two) Senna keeps the Reading Room on Weigh Street with Hollis (sixty) and Bren (eighty-one), who hold the green door every morning; Dot lies under the bench, an ordinary dog. A picker brings a humming Tally coat (*C 4 419*, *I.C.*); fair, with no maker's name — thirty years in the room and she still cannot take a numbered brand off.

The Ferrow Reading (The Cutters' Roll · Book Seven · 22 chapters · 70,364 words)
Dace (seventy) crosses Weigh Street for the first time in four years and asks the collar read — a lifting brand, number with no name.
