In the soot-choked streets of Oakhaven, magic has become a commodity—cheap, glowing, and hollow. Silas Vane was the last of the True Artisans, a man who didn't just forge steel, but imbued it with the very essence of the "Stillness." But when his workshop is reduced to ash and his family is murdered with a blade bearing his own maker's mark, Silas is framed for the tragedy and cast into the bowels of the Blackspire. Now, a fugitive in a world addicted to disposable power, Silas must navigate a web of guild politics and industrial greed. Armed with nothing but a sharpened bone and the knowledge of how the world is put together, he begins a journey of cold-blooded craftsmanship. He isn't out to save the kingdom from a Dark Lord; he’s out to dismantle the man who stole his life—one structural flaw at a time.
