The Price of Echoes

In the rain-slicked, gaslit city of Dunholm, the dead do not rest easy—and for Cædmon, they do not rest at all. As the city’s official Echo-Walker, he is a man blessed and cursed with the ability to step into a corpse's final moments to witness the truth of their demise. It is a grim art that has cost him his peace, staining his soul with the phantom pains and sorrows of the departed.



When he is summoned to the scene of a seemingly simple murder, he uncovers a crime that is too clean, too perfect. His investigation reveals an impossible truth: he is hunting not just a killer, but a conspiracy of "Scriveners," shadowy figures who can forge memories and rewrite a soul's final testament. Now, an outcast from the very law he served, Cædmon must hunt a conspiracy that the world doesn't believe exists. His only allies are the ghosts of the dead themselves. But in a world where memory can be a weapon, how can you trust the truth, even when it comes from beyond the grave?
