A man wakes in a dark alley, bleeding from a wound that should have killed him, clutching a broken piece of metal that pulses with impossible memories. Riven, an apprentice artisan, was murdered for uncovering a hidden truth: a missing record, a thirteenth blade erased from history. Now, with the knowledge of a master warrior inexplicably flooding his mind, he is hunted by the very men who ended his life. Every step is a fight for survival, every instinct a borrowed skill, as he navigates a city where ancient secrets are buried beneath monumental walls. But how can he fight an enemy he can barely comprehend, when the power he wields is not his own, and the truth of his impossible survival remains a mystery?
