Fantasy imprint · first title in production
The public harbor for L.D. Holl's hopeful speculative worlds — beginning with Glasswake · Book One: The Island That Answered.

Featured first book
A civic bell that answers when it shouldn't, a young bell-cartographer, and living roads beneath a shining sea.
Glasswake opens in a tide-bright archipelago where maps listen back, old bells remember what people forget, and adventure begins with a sound no one expected to hear. Hopeful, mysterious, and built for readers who want wonder without grimdark ash.
The Glasswake Archipelago
The first Larkspur Harbor world is adventure-forward and wonder-lit: strange civic magic, coastal mysteries, and people brave enough to answer when the impossible answers first.
A public ritual goes wrong in exactly the way legends warned it could — and one young cartographer hears a route opening under the water.
Roads are not just roads in Glasswake. They wake, listen, bend, and sometimes lead toward the truth before anyone is ready.
Beyond the harbor lights, a place thought silent is preparing to speak back.

Larkspur Harbor
Larkspur Harbor publishes fantasy and science fiction from Lawrence Holl: intimate books with wide horizons, built around curiosity, courage, and worlds that reward getting lost.
This page is a teaser window for now: the cover, the promise, and the first glimpse of Glasswake before the first book arrives.
