Blood of Scroll and Seal

Ezra thought the worst thing about high school was being invisible—until a single name he shouldn’t have spoken opens a seal above New York. Now the city has hidden rules: names can be stolen, memory can be eaten, and every “door” in the world is part of a failing containment system older than history. Ezra survives once… and wakes up changed. With Danny Chen pulling him deeper into a Chinatown underworld of oaths and family debts, Ezra must learn a strange hybrid magic—Hebrew true-names and ancient inscriptions—before the Unnamed pressure turns his life into blank space. Some battles are fought with blood.The real war is fought with what you can still remember.
