Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The year is 1720. The war is over. The debts are not.Captain Wry Slamyrbach sails the Providence toward Nassau with a crew held together by loyalty, habit, and the fraying thread of a promise. Branded with the number 589 - a ledger entry seared into his flesh - he is bound to Cornelius Vark, an Amsterdam merchant banker who counts men the way other men count coins.The debt is precise: five hundred and eighty-nine pieces of eight. Not a round number. Vark doesn't deal in round numbers. He deals in chains.To free himself, Wry must settle a debt that was never his - but the voyage will test every bond he holds: the son who sails beside him and dreams of a life beyond salt and timber, the crew splitting between loyalty and mutiny, and the enforcer Vark has sent to make sure the debt is paid in flesh if not in coin.From the streets of Nassau to the canals of Amsterdam, from the open Atlantic to the fog and ice of the Grand Banks, Rings That Bind is a story about what we owe - to the people who sail with us, to the children who watch us, and to the systems we build to count what matters. At its heart is a question as old as money and as new as tomorrow: who controls the ledger, and who does it serve?This is a novel about fathers and sons, debts and ledgers, and the rings we wear to remember who we belong to. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
