Some judgments cannot be escaped. Not even by those who delivered them.

Six months ago, Tavin helped transform the Silent Oath Guild from ruthless killers into something better. But peace is fragile—and when an entire noble family is slaughtered overnight, their binding sigils burned from within, it’s clear someone is passing judgment on the sins of the past.

The message left behind is chilling: The Untouched remember. The cleansing has begun.

Now Gavin’s unique Echo Binding—reborn from corruption into a strange new power—makes him the only one who can uncover the truth. His visions reveal glimpses of a hidden war, a woman leading a long-forgotten order, and a connection to the heir to the throne that could shatter everything Valeir has rebuilt.

Hunted by zealots wielding ancient, pure binding magic and haunted by echoes of their vengeance, Tavin must race to stop the next judgment. Because the Untouched aren’t just cleansing the guilty… they’re coming for the boy who represents the future of the realm.

In a world where magic remembers the sins of the past, justice is written in ash and blood.
