Journey of the Discarded: The Life Ledger

Sacrificed. Forgotten. Indebted.  Mia was thrown overboard to protect a secret. She was supposed to die. Instead, she woke up in Cinderwild, a place built by the discarded, where power is the only law and mercy is a liability. To survive, she needs the ledger. To keep the ledger, she needs lives. The mechanics are simple. Every life she takes becomes points. Points become food, weapons, medicine--power. Miss the monthly quota, and her body starts collecting what she owes; hearing first, then sight, then everything else, one piece at a time. The ledger doesn't care about guilt. It doesn't record names. It only counts. Mia was a servant once. Now she's been pulled into something larger than survival — a city fracturing under the weight of war, factions fighting over territory, and ancient powers moving their pieces into position. There's magic in Cinderwild's bones. It's in the barriers that demand lives to pass, in the ledgers that turn death into currency, in the soldiers who carry powers they don't fully understand. The world discarded her once. Now she's learning the hardest thing about the ledger isn't the killing. It's how easy it gets.
