Colophon Pier

Marcus Fletcher is a meticulous municipal investigator, used to tracing fraudulent tax ledgers and corporate anomalies through Oakhaven's corrupt bureaucracy. But when a routine audit into a defunct 1891 corporate charter leads him into the subterranean vaults beneath City Hall, he uncovers a horrific clockwork reality: the city is being written in real-time by a monstrous, automated printing press-and the ink is running thick with human blood.When his estranged brother, Julian, is dragged into the machinery and begins transforming into a literal statue of type-metal and bone, Marcus is forced to play a psychological game against the narrative itself. Trapped within a strict, unyielding 45-chapter framework governed by spectral printers and a ruthless foreman, every action Marcus takes is instantly typeset onto the bubbling vellum pages before him.To save his brother and break the mechanical deadlock gridlocking the city, Marcus must find a way to rewrite the final signatures before the ink sets hard, the ledger closes, and they are permanently bound into the dark archive of the dead.
