DICHOTOMY

In the decaying Therus Empire, the "Cleaners" perform the lethal work no one else has the stomach for. Vesper Vance is their most effective weapon: a young elite mercenary burdened by a biology the public finds repulsive. Labeled an "Eldritch," Vesper possesses an unsettling ability to stitch his shattered body back together in real-time, a "gift" that earns him only fear and disgust from those he protects. While Vesper navigates a world of political riots and high-stakes missions, he is haunted by recurring dreams of a mysterious woman and a crumbling mountain. His life takes a sharp turn when a secret meeting with Prince Sidis hints at deep-rooted conspiracies within the palace. Meanwhile, in the frozen peaks of the north, the impenetrable prison known as Monolith has gone silent. A legendary prisoner known only as "Nameless" has begun a dark transition that threatens to spill out of the mountains and into the heart of the Empire.
