The Ledger of Borrowed Years

In the salt-glass city of Vharos, life itself is currency, and Sable Vey collects what's owed—carving lost years directly from the flesh of debtors who borrowed time they couldn't repay. When the Salt Court orders her to collect from Mireth Cale, a healer beloved by the poor for burning her own lifespan to save strangers, Sable uncovers a truth etched beneath her own ledger-tattoos that could unravel the entire immortal aristocracy she serves.
