Imperial Creditor

Kael Riorden, the finance officer blamed for bankrupting the Empire, is executed for its collapse. At the moment of his death, he realizes the truth: the Empire was not defeated by war, but by debts the royal family, temple, and nobles quietly forced onto the weak. Returned to age nineteen, with his family on the brink of ruin, Kael chooses not to wield a sword. Instead, he opens the ledgers—finding unpaid claims and stolen rights buried inside documents everyone else considers worthless. This time, those who borrowed will pay. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Imperial Creditor — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
