The Hollow Oath
In a city built above old burial roads, a ledger-keeper discovers that the dead are being quietly reassigned to the wrong names. When she follows the paper trail into the undercrypts, she finds a failing pact that has kept the city safe by making its poorest people disappear first. What begins as an accounting error becomes a choice between order, truth, and the cost of mercy.
