Trapped outside the city walls with ravenous beasts closing in, Joren Vask, an Unmarked porter, faces a brutal choice: save a dying boy or protect the precious Lumen meant for his ailing sister. In a world where status is everything and the unranked are expendable, Joren has always relied on his sharp mind and keen observation to survive. But when a desperate act of compassion triggers a mysterious, ancient system, words begin to write themselves across his vision, revealing a hidden entry and a terrifying debt. Now, with a cryptic message branding him "Candidate Thirteen" and the hounds of the Ashwild baying, Joren must navigate a deadly game he never asked to play. Will this newfound power be his salvation, or will it simply mark him for a far greater hunt?
