The Exchequer

Two lives. Two deaths. Both of them in debt. On Earth, he was a forensic accountant who died of cancer owing the bank. In the smog-choked industrial city of Grisholt, Lucan Marr is a nineteen-year-old debt-slave, worked to the bone in a mine built on the fossils of dead giants. His debt was rigged to grow forever. His father’s death was “an accident.” And when his only friend is shot dead for speaking up, Lucan is thrown down a pit full of corpses and left to die. At the bottom, among the bodies, a golden ledger opens before his eyes.[ Welcome to THE EXCHEQUER. ]MINT: unlimited money. MARKET: anything it can buy. ROSTER: loyal servants, summoned from fallen worlds, bound to him for life. LEDGER: every debt, owed in coin or in blood. There’s just one problem. In the Ashen Crown, every legal coin carries the king’s magic, and Lucan’s gold carries none. Spend it openly and they’ll burn him alive in the square. So he’ll do what he did in his last life. He’ll follow the money. He’ll launder it, hide it and turn the kingdom’s own laws into weapons. And one by one, he’ll collect what the city owes him. Every debt will be paid. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Exchequer — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
