Start reading chapter 1

Ilan Mercer died in the dark under the city, counting men who never came out. He wakes years earlier, on the morning his late father's living dungeon is condemned, with one chance to stop the strike that killed it. To save it he must bond its broken keystone and feel every load it carries in his own body, work his way up the architects' ranks from Claimant toward Mason, and outplay a courteous warden who wants that keystone for himself. Every life he saves changes the future he remembers.

The story so far

The Broken Core (chapters 1-20)

Ilan reached Mercer Yard as the condemnation bell rang and stopped the breakers from striking the wrong stone. Below the arch he took the keystone into his keeping, and with it every crack the dungeon carries. At the Ledger he signed "unknown" on the line for occupants, making himself liable for people he has never met. Now an auditor is testing his arches, the warden is watching, and in the dark beneath the yard, someone is counting back.
