In the desolate Ashen Corridor, Kaelen discovers a dying infant amidst the wreckage of a century-long holy war. To save her, he makes a desperate pact with Malakor, a god of debts, agreeing to deliver the child to the Spire of Obligations in seven days. But as the journey transforms the mercenary into a father figure, Kaelen discovers the horrific truth of the contract and must choose between the binding magic on his skin and the life in his arms.
