Rune-Breaker of Delrick

In the decaying city of Delrick, people vanish into the cracks of the concrete jungle, fuel for a machine that runs on blood and secrets. Deon, a street-smart fixer, takes on a simple missing person case, only to be dragged into a conspiracy as old as the city itself. He discovers a hidden world of parasitic magic, controlled by glowing runes that map the city's corruption. At the heart of it all is the Warden, a chained and tormented enforcer of this dark system. To save the lost, Deon must learn to master a power he never knew he had and break the chains of a city designed to devour its own.
