Daren Holt wants a quiet harvest and enough money to raise his eight-year-old son. Once a siege warrior, he returned from war with a shattered leg and an empty wound where his cultivation core had been. His wife’s death left him with one duty he still believes he can fulfill: keep Orin safe. Then the mountain sect replaces the village’s grain tithe with a child. Daren’s desperate rescue awakens a strange sensitivity to old spirit works. He can hear the promises that once animated wells, mills, and walls. When he repairs those works and restores their purpose, their wasted spiritual energy begins to mend a path inside him. His gift offers strength, but demands labor, understanding, and other people’s trust. Hunted across the hills, Daren leads survivors to Hearthfast, a ruined fortress with a starving guardian. Helping him is Selka Thorne, a sect magistrate who defies her own order only after witnessing the cruelty she helped administer. Daren needs her knowledge. Trusting her is harder. As their refuge grows, every necessary victory exposes a deeper danger. The sect’s harvest reaches beyond gifted children, and the ruins scattered across the kingdom share a history someone has worked to bury. Daren must choose whether to protect only his son or accept responsibility for strangers whose survival may endanger him. When Hearthfast’s hearth finally burns again, a messenger arrives carrying the cultivation core torn from Daren’s chest years before. Why has the mountain kept it alive—and why is its ruler bringing it back now?
