Kairo Shen has a rank now. A battalion. A unit that has been through fire together and knows what it costs.He arrives at Varen Station on the empire's frontier and asks for the full records. Not the summaries. Everything.What he finds is Maren Dusk, a logistics officer who has been cross-referencing supply records alone for two years, filing her documentation where it would not be found, waiting for someone with the standing to use it.The extraction she found is not theft. It is management. Calibrated, coordinated, running at exactly the rate that stays invisible. And it connects upward. Past the regional depot. Past the provincial procurement office. Past a name Kairo has been watching for a long time.The correction is getting closer to the thing that needs correcting.The thing that needs correcting is bigger than he thought.CORRECTION: Blood on the Ledger is Book 2 of a ten-book dark fantasy saga about power, accountability, and what it actually takes to fix something that was broken on purpose.
