博客來Starving, freezing, and left to die, Wallace roams the streets of Elton, a city rotting with corruption, clinging to survival alongside his found family, twins Michael and Melena. Bound by love and desperation, the three steal, scavenge, and kill to endure another winter.
When a fatal illness threatens to end him, Wallace is saved by Abigail Kreila, one of the few kind plague doctors left. She offers food, shelter, and the chance to apprentice under her, giving him the opportunity to heal the city instead of bleeding it dry.
But Michael and Melena dream of more than survival. They crave wealth, pleasure, and power, no matter the cost. And they expect Wallace to stand with them.
Now, caught between Kreila’s vision of hope and his siblings’ lure of indulgence, Wallace must choose between becoming a healer in a broken city, or following his family into a life of ruthless ambition, where the price of luxury may cost him his soul.
