The Scattered Register of the Namekeeper (The Enchanted Post Chronicles #4)

In Mosshollow, every letter knows the name of its recipient. Lately, some of them have started to forget.

Phoenix Firebolt has walked every route in her mother's old ledger and made the word Hearthkeeper her own at last. She thought she knew the whole of the work. Then the names begin to slip.

A letter turns up with its address bright and its recipient worn to a ghost. A neighbor gropes for a name he has said ten thousand times and finds nothing but weather to blame. One at a time, quietly, the village is losing the smallest and most necessary thing it owns: the way its people find their way back to one another.

The trouble leads to a keeper Mosshollow forgot it ever had and a flame that has guttered low. And the timing is merciless because Sorrel and Pim are to be married, and a wedding is the one day no village can hold without names. The invitations. The vows. The register that makes it true.

To save the wedding, Phoenix has to save the keeper. To save the keeper, she has to recover what a whole village let itself forget and the outdated beliefs it has before the names she holds most dear go dark for good.
