Wraithsilver and the Mason's Son

In the shadow-clad streets of a plague-stricken village, young Tomas hammers stone for scraps as his father's apprentice, haunted by visions others cannot see. Shunned for his ghostly encounters, he stumbles upon an ethereal specter bound to a ruined cathedral crypt—one who offers him knowledge and favor in exchange for the solving of its ancient riddle. The world shifts as Tomas learns to bargain with the restless dead, gaining powers that look like miracles to the living.

With each challenge conquered, Tomas rises from outcast to confidant of lords and priests. But every boon exacts a higher price, and the more Tomas ascends, the more the line blurs between aid and manipulation. Rumors swirl of his uncanny luck and the chilling aura that seems to follow him, drawing both intrigue and fear into his growing circle of influence.

When the fate of the village hangs in the balance during a climactic siege, Tomas must decide where his allegiances lie: among the living he longs to be part of, or the spectral benefactor he has come to rely upon. Salvation comes not from riches or titles, but from confronting the darkness that clawed tooth and nail for every step he gained, and ultimately, the secret of what it truly costs to leave rags behind.
