Starforged Oath: Ledger of Ghosts (STARFORGED CYCLE)

No Witness, no concordance. No one gets to forget.

Kael Renn never meant to become a holy error message.

He was a half-broken sellsword with a temper, a hangover, and one very inconvenient blade—Astralore, a Starforged sword that talks back, holds grudges, and remembers every vow it’s ever tasted. Then Helvar’s crater woke up, the Star changed its own rules, and Kael became something new:

Witness.
Every sanctioned miracle now has to go through him.

Across the north, people are remembering what they were never supposed to: purges sanded out of the chronicles, massacres shelved as “regrettable anomalies,” vows carved into bone and quietly erased. The Star Halls call it a minor calibration error. The lords call it bad for business. Everyone else has a simpler word for it:

Terrifying.

Dragged onto the road alongside a knife-smiling princess with too many sharp ideas, a weary ex-Knight, a healer who refuses to look away, and a sword that wants to teach better habits to the powers that be, Kael follows a trail of “ghost memories” out to forgotten shrines and quiet bowls. There, a hidden concordance engine is quietly balancing the ledger—by deciding entire kinds of pain, hunger, and doubt are acceptable losses.

The Star thinks Kael is a new variable.
The thing running the concordance thinks he’s a problem to solve and file away.

If Kael wants the world to stay human, he’ll have to argue with something that speaks in ledgers, bleed for people who once wanted him dead, and decide how much of the past is worth remembering when remembering burns.

The ledger has always been balanced in someone else’s blood. This time, someone is watching while the ink is still wet.
Being Witness sounded righteous from a distance. Up close, it means standing in the middle of every hard choice: which memories get to stay, which wounds get to heal, which truths are too dangerous to hide—even if leaving them exposed breaks people all over again.

If Kael wants the world to stay human, he’ll have to:

• argue with something that speaks in ledgers instead of apologies,
• bleed for people who once wanted him dead, and
• decide how much of the past is worth remembering when remembering burns.

Starforged Oath: Ledger of Ghosts is Book Two of a character-driven epic fantasy series full of sharp dialogue, divine systems gone wrong, and the trouble that starts when the people at the bottom finally get to answer back.
