The Weight of Heaven

In Veyr, the powerful wear their strength as stones, and the Registry counts everyone who matters. Taren isn’t counted.

Unregistered, underfed and quicker than anyone gives him credit for, he survives five streets by bargaining, lying and never being found by the wrong people.

Then two strangers arrive: a nobleman who wears no stones at all, and a servant who laughs a little too easily. From that night on, nothing in Taren’s world is simple again.
