The Registry lied. Exposing it was only the beginning.

Seven doors have appeared inside Vellune's shattered Public Reading Court. Each remembers a child, an object, a wound, or a choice adults once tried to make permanent.

Calder Wren Lane and the Marginalia now face something harder than uncovering the truth. They must decide what happens after everyone learns the system was built to manipulate names, memory, family, safety, and fate.

As Matron Redline struggles to preserve control and Pale Binder Primus turns the city's oldest rules against the children they were supposed to protect, Nell, Sia, Calder, Mara, and their allies begin building a different kind of law.

Ask first. Let witnesses remain people. Let waiting remain a choice. And never allow one person's answer to become a cage for everyone else.

The Registry Lies: Book Two, Part Two completes the second novel of The Marginalia War, a dark young adult fantasy about identity, consent, memory, resistance, found family, and who gets to decide what truth becomes.
