Joren Kade survived a war that cost him his brother. Now he fights drunks in the Iron Hollow's rust-choked streets, keeping his rage in check through the Way of the Iron Veil-a martial art built on control, not brutality.
But control won't save him when the cult returns.
Ancient weapons surface, humming with a power that shouldn't exist. Shadows move through the neon-lit slums, hunting. And a figure known only as the Weaver is pulling threads Joren doesn't understand-yet.
The Iron Hollow is just the beginning. Something far older and more dangerous is waking, and Joren's fragile peace is about to shatter. To protect the only home he has left, he'll have to face the storm he's spent years trying to bury.
Some scars never heal. Some fights never end.
