The Ledger Of Unmade Things

In the city of Vaun, all debt is visible. Every person carries their obligations in the chest like a second heartbeat, and the Bureau of Existential Accounts employs men and women to assess, administer, and when necessary, cancel what is owed. Soren Vael has worked assessments for eleven years. He is precise, methodical, and owes nothing. This last fact is, technically, impossible. When the Bureau’s best investigator dies and passes her final case to Soren specifically, he finds himself holding a record no one was supposed to find: an account eighteen thousand years old with no debtor attached, sitting in the Bureau’s oldest records and quietly taking interest from everyone who looks at it too closely. Interest paid not in money but in memory. In the things people loved and didn’t know they had lost. The investigation that follows will take Soren below the city, through organizations that predate it, and into the oldest archive in Vaun, where he will learn what he actually is, what has been living in him since before he was born, and why the entity that is owed forty thousand years of human existence has been patient long enough. The Ledger of Unmade Things is for readers who finished Reverend Insanity and Lord of the Mysteries and found nothing that hit the same way. It is a story about debt, memory, and what it costs to close the largest unclosed account in the history of the world. Volume One: The Cost of Seeing Clearly. patreon: https://patreon.com/SevAldren
