Hanged for a crime he didn't commit, Eran, the city's scaffold scribe, wakes in the pit of the dead, inexplicably alive. His neck should be broken, but instead, a chilling pressure pulses in his chest, a spectral ledger opening an account in his very being. He's been granted a second chance, but the terms are brutal: one life saved, one measure of power, one debt of blood incurred, with interest compounding on every unwitnessed save. The first entry? His own revival. Now, trapped among the corpses he once tallied, Eran discovers three bodies are missing from the pit—the same three he'd flagged before his execution, the same three his sworn brother, Daven, had taken from his desk. Someone is manipulating the city's death count, and Eran's new, terrifying existence is inextricably linked to this dark conspiracy. But how do you repay a debt when your very life is the principal, and the system itself is writing your name into a ledger of blood?
