In a world where the very air chokes with ash and power is etched onto the skin, Kael is a Blank—unmarked, unwanted, and utterly powerless. But when his younger sister is condemned to the brutal Kiln Four, a debt he cannot pay, Kael is forced into the forbidden depths of the Undercroft, seeking a legend who deals in secrets and impossible truths. There, he discovers his own body hides a terrifying anomaly, a latent power that defies every law of the Dominion and could shatter the oppressive order that binds his world. To save his sister, Kael must embrace a darkness that consumes light, risking not just his life, but his very soul, in a desperate gamble against an empire built on ink and fire. What price will he pay to become the one thing this world has no hook for?
