A chipped sword and a desperate bargain are all Damon has to his name, until a royal decree plunges his city into chaos and an impossible creature is unveiled at auction. When a spatial slipwolf, a beast of myth and terror, breaks free, Damon's quick thinking saves a life, but not without a cost. The creature's bite awakens a power within him, transforming his arm into living jade, a royal-grade awakening that defies all known magic. Now, with a city in turmoil and a mysterious new ability coursing through his veins, Damon must confront not only the escaped beast but also the terrifying truth of what he has become. Can a simple appraiser master a power that even the most seasoned mages cannot comprehend, or will this newfound gift be his ultimate undoing?
