The Marrow of Truth

About this book

In the vertical metropolis of Ouroboros, built within the fossilized ribcage of a primordial titan, society is segregated by the literal light in one's blood. In the present day, Trúc, a young investigator with a rare, lightless affliction, is drawn into a grisly series of murders where the victims are drained of their Lumen. Parallel to her investigation unfolds the forgotten history of Quim, a revered figure from centuries past who was burdened with a divine calling to ignite the city's protective Aether-Glass sky. As Trúc follows the bloody trail left by the killer, the dual narratives weave together to expose the dark, hidden origins of their society. Bound by destiny and the echoes of history, Trúc must decipher the archaic clues left by Quim before the killer plunges Ouroboros into eternal darkness.
