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.
