"In the world of the Wu, miracles aren't free. They are bought with skin, bone, and blood."
Jirapat "Pete" Pruetchaianan's life ended the moment he signed his termination papers. A star athlete with no game left to play, he was a man waiting for the void-until he met Niran.
Niran is a Wu, a weaver of the unseen, possessed of a power that is as beautiful as it is grotesque. He can see the "Knot of Fate" in every person-the exact moment their life will shatter. He can untie those knots. He can save the doomed. But there is a law to the universe: Destiny cannot be destroyed; it can only be transferred.
To save a life, Niran must take their agony into his own body. Every tragedy he prevents for others manifests as a weeping scar or a blackened mark on his own skin. He is a living map of stolen deaths, slowly rotting under the weight of "miracles" he performed for strangers.
When Niran hires Pete as his assistant, Pete thinks he's finally found a way to outrun his own bad luck. But the realization is a blade to the heart: the more Pete tries to protect Niran, the more Niran uses his power to keep Pete alive. For every bullet Pete dodges, a hole opens in Niran's soul. For every day Pete finds a reason to live, Niran loses a day of his own.
In a world where every smile is paid for with a secret scream, Pete must face the ultimate question: How do you save a man whose only purpose is to die for you?
