In a world where dead gods leave behind fragments of their power, knowledge is the most dangerous force of all. Elias Voss awakens on a mortuary table—four days after his death—with no explanation and no time to question it. An archivist of the Imperial Bureau of Occult Records, he soon discovers that his predecessor was murdered for uncovering a truth buried beneath the city of Ashcroft: the Hollow Index, a relic said to contain the complete record of all knowledge, all history, and every path to godhood. Now marked by a power he barely understands and hunted by those who would kill to possess it, Elias is forced into a quiet war of intellect and survival. The deeper he digs into the Bureau’s secrets, the clearer it becomes that someone within its highest ranks is rewriting reality itself—and preparing to awaken something that should have remained dead. In a world where every truth opens a darker door, Elias must decide how far he is willing to go to reach the final page.
