Dark academia isn't the aesthetic. It's the cover-up. Buy her freedom, or sell the memory that makes you human....
A thug’s knee crushed Silas Quinn’s throat when a god-made ledger ripped open in his mind: SELL YOUR FEAR—NOW. His family is bankrupt, his debt collectors are closing in, and the only power he has can buy and sell anything—memories, magic, loyalty, even luck. When Kaela Vance, a blade-for-hire bound by a cursed debt contract, puts a knife to his throat, Silas makes the one trade that could save her sister… or chain them both forever. Street by street, contract by contract, Silas will buy a crew, a city, and perhaps an entire kingdom—but Varric Hale, the merchant lord who controls the continent’s prices, wants the Ledger for himself. When the book demands Silas sell his most precious memory to save Kaela, will he pay the price—or let the woman he bought become the weapon that kills him?
