Starforged Oath: Audit of Blood (STARFORGED CYCLE)

Some ledgers balance in ink. This one prefers blood.

Kael Renn never wanted to be the Star’s conscience. He was a half-broken sellsword with a hangover, a temper, and one very inconvenient blade—Astralore, a Starforged sword that talks back, holds grudges, and remembers every vow it’s ever tasted.

Then Kael told the god under Helvar’s crater to stop hiding what its miracles cost.

Now every sanctioned wonder in the north routes through him—through the Crown of Witnesses—and the Star’s discarded “corrections” are waking up. Ghost-memories rise in crowded streets, forgotten shrines crack open, and ordinary people remember things they were never meant to survive the first time: purges sanded out of the chronicles, massacres filed as “regrettable anomalies,” promises carved into bone and quietly erased.

The Star calls it a calibration error.
The Auditor calls it an Audit of Blood.
Everyone else calls it what it feels like: the end of the world, one correction at a time.

Hunted by assassins and haunted ledgers, Kael is dragged back onto the road with:

• Lysandra – a knife-smiling princess with too many sharp ideas.

• Darius – a weary ex-Knight who still believes in mercy.

• Beneth – a clerk who can see the bones of the Star’s accounting.

• And Astralore, who would very much like to teach better habits to gods and governments.

Together they follow a trail of “ghost accounts” through broken border towns, cursed transit meshes, and the drowned heart of an empire, chasing the thing that’s quietly rebalancing the world by deciding which lives are acceptable losses.

The Star thinks Kael is a useful variable.
The Auditor thinks he’s an error to erase.
And Kael is running out of ways to keep the world human when every choice comes itemized on a page.

If the ledger demands a sacrifice, someone is finally ready to argue with the ink.
