Some debts are older than cities. Some truths are heavier than silence.

Across four cities bound by water and shadow, a man carries a weight he was never meant to understand. From the fog-drenched docks of San Francisco to the secret canals of Venice, from the lightless harbors of seven ancient ports to a truth written in ink older than empires — he follows a path laid by those who came before and paid the price.

Salt. Stone. Ash. Water. Four elements. Four reckonings. One hidden thread.
