Ailsa Penhaligon, a beekeeper-chemist raised on the docks, can buy the sick a few precious hours with a lantern ward of ash, honey, and breath. To ferry forbidden medicine past company patrols, she forges a \"convenient\" engagement with strike leader Theo Sorsa, a quiet boatwright who reads tides like blueprints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat begins as a ruse turns into a partnership built at thresholds: doorjambs and dock edges, picket lines and parish steps. As the town fights for wages, housing, and dignity-and as the river keeps its own counsel-Ailsa and Theo must decide what truth their vow can carry when the peace arrives and the watching begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical fiction, labor \u0026amp; class, romantic suspense. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46438296092823,"sku":"9798231300648","price":1063.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798231300648.webp?v=1769107042","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lanterns-on-the-skeena-9798231300648","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
