Brasswick is a city that forgets its dead-but never its debts. When bodies begin appearing across the riverfront with eyes and tongues torn away, feathers packed into their mouths, and crows circling like omens, Detective Jonah Cray recognizes the signature whispered only in alleys and basement bars: the Scavenger Court. Two masked figures-Brother and Sister-moving as one, wrapped in black cloaks and crow-skull masks no one has seen in decades. When Cray's partner, Detective Rowan Alder, vanishes without a trace, the case turns personal. A single feather, a missing badge, and a recording of Alder's voice lead Cray toward a place no map acknowledges: the Court's Cathedral, a structure that shouldn't exist and yet rises from the fog like a wound the city chooses not to heal. To save Alder-and himself-Cray must confront the truth Brasswick has been feeding for years. Because the Scavenger Court isn't hiding anymore. It's returning.

Every action taken to gain power, no matter the form, only drags you closer to something you can't control. In a world where knowledge, blood, soul, wealth, and even rapture are cultivated to fuel one's ambition, there's always a price to pay. But those who seek power never realize they're not the ones pulling the strings-they're merely part of a larger game, dancing to a tune they don't even know is being played. ***** What to expect: ✅️ Rich lore and mythos with a fresh take on Gods and mortals ✅️ slow burn storytelling ✅️ immense world-building ✅️ multiple intricate arcs spanning multiple timelines ✅️ various perspectives, and plenty of drama. Expect a long, slow build-up that pays off in a big way. ***** DISCLAIMER: This story contains graphic violence, gore, and disturbing themes including forced cannibalism, infanticide, parental abuse, and more. Reader discretion is advised. ***** Update Schedule: Monday to Friday
