“The Ghost's belly slides leave no mark on mud that holds every other track. Noir checked twice, at dawn and dusk. "The mud remembers everything," she said quietly, "except her."”

Noir
“He is the reason the night river sleeps soundly — and the reason it doesn’t, if you’re a fish with a guilty conscience.”

The living story
The story so far
He was born dark in a dark river and never saw a reason to be anything else. While the day shift basked and bellowed, Noir learned the night water — every current, every snag, every secret the dark keeps. He keeps them all.
Happening now
He runs the night patrol: who’s moving, who’s hiding, who needs escorting home. His reports are delivered at dawn, quietly, to Bifocal’s Logbook. The night river’s crime rate is zero. The night river’s fish are law-abiding. Mostly.
What may come
He is training two apprentices in night-water craft: "See without being seen. Know without being known." Their eyes are getting brighter. Their shadows are getting deeper. The night shift is in good hands.

Whispers about Noir
Why someone keeps Noir
- because his eyes are struck matches in six feet of night water
- because "moon high, water honest, all quiet" is literature
- because the night river’s crime rate is zero, and that’s not an accident
The River Tyrants
The river tyrants: crocodiles, alligators, caimans, gharials — the ambush perfected over eighty million years. Fifteen smiles, every one of them full of teeth.
