Overview

What is left when land is taken, but never named?In Volume I of Greenland, Held in Silence, a quiet legal decision made during World War II becomes the starting point of an inheritance that spans generations. In 1942, a young American legal analyst is sent to Greenland to ensure that wartime decisions are properly documented. What she finds instead is a legal silence: no treaty, no consent, no clear ownership-only paperwork designed to delay responsibility. Decades later, as the Arctic ice begins to retreat, that silence resurfaces. This first volume traces the origin of an unresolved question: How legal ambiguity is created How displacement becomes normalized How documentation replaces accountability Moving between archives, coastal settlements, and institutional offices, the novel follows those who witness a problem forming-and choose not to finish it. This is not a story of heroes or villains. It is a story of systems, and of how unfinished decisions are passed forward as inheritance.
