Follow the law and you’ll stay safe. But what if the law is wrong?

Tashué’s faith in the law is beginning to crack. Three years ago, he stood by when the Authority condemned Jason to the brutality of the Rift for non-compliance. When Tashué’s son refused to register as tainted, the laws had to be upheld. He’d never doubted his job as a Regulation Officer before, but three years of watching your son wither away can break down even the strongest convictions.

Then a dead girl washed up on the bank of the Brightwash, tattooed and mutilated. Where had she come from? Who would tattoo a child? Was it the same person who killed her? Why was he the only one who cared?

Will Tashué be able to stand against everything he thought he believed in to get the answers he’s looking for?

Legacy of Brick & Bone

Follow the law and you'll stay safe. But what if the law betrays you?

It all started with the girl from the river: mutilated, tattooed, murdered. Tashué couldn't help but look for answers and in the process, he uncovered the ugly truths being hidden by the very law he used to believe in-the law of the Authority.

Now he's fighting for his life. Mere survival isn't enough; he desperately wants to save his son from the Authority, and he wants revolution. At any cost.

Davik Kaine has been gathering power under everyone's noses. Ruthless, ambitious, with a rebel army backing him, he wants revolution, too. He's probably the only person powerful enough to protect Tashué from the looming implosion of the political field. And he's the only person with the connections to save Jason.

He may also be responsible for the death of the girl from the river.

Is making peace with Davik worth it, if it saves Tashué's son from the Authority?

If Tashué plays along with what Davik wants, can Tashué get retribution for the girl from the river?
