Winter has turned every inventory into a target.
Stonegate refuses Versailles's demand for a map of its private stockpiles. Then requisition teams arrive with the map anyway. They know which garages conceal food, which homes hold fuel, and where the last working generators are kept. Someone inside Stonegate traded consent for aid.
Daniel Mercer enters the first lethal winter as a ration-board chair, a reluctant delegate, and a man still carrying the consequences of his earlier decisions. Disease spreads through crowded shelters. Heating fuel disappears. Carter Vale offers medicine and coordinated security, but his political design would let controlled wealth purchase permanent power.
When evidence implicates the radio engineer Daniel already distrusts, he makes a choice that silences Stonegate's most important warning network. The cost arrives before the truth does.
Now Daniel must uncover who betrayed the neighborhood while building a coalition among hostile compacts, farms, and downtown survivors. Exposing the culprit could destroy the only security force capable of holding Versailles together. Concealing the truth could make Central Kentucky's first durable charter dependent on an unforgivable secret.
The First Charter is Book Four of The Ash Commonwealth, an extremely dark post-apocalyptic political mystery about winter, prejudice, compromised alliances, and the fragile institutions people create when survival alone is no longer enough.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
