Port Argent: A Novel

Port Argent is a river‑bound city that grew in a way that still puzzles its residents. Its winding streets, bustling trolley lines, and mismatched architecture hint at a history shaped as much by chance as by ambition. In the shadow of the old Champney estate, a once‑influential family watches the town’s transformation from a genteel, Whig‑rooted community into a bustling hub of industry and new wealth.

Through the eyes of Henry Champney’s aging patriarch and his curious daughter Camilla, listeners glimpse the clash between old ideals and the restless energy of a rapidly expanding town. The narrative follows their observations of political intrigue, shifting social hierarchies, and the everyday lives of those who labor on the river’s banks. As the city’s pulse quickens, the story invites you to explore a place where every street corner holds a fragment of a larger, ever‑evolving story.
