"What mouse doesn't dream of bearding the cat in his own den?"
A dying man. A hidden library. A job that pays in strange coins.
When a man is pulled from the city's forgotten corners into a secret society of runners, he discovers a world where books are precious treasures, magic is reverse-engineered from alien text, and returning alive is never guaranteed.
Mr. Black can't outrun hunger, grief, or the guardians of the library forever. But with every coin, every book, and every hard-won spell, he inches closer to power, knowledge, and the chance to decide what his life is worth.
