Beneath the Skin of Saints

In the fog-choked city of Kaelith, celebrated humanitarian Magnus Draven has spent thirty years building orphanages while secretly curating a private hunting ground where the forgotten become prey. When teenage runaway Sorrel breaks into his countryside manor seeking shelter, she discovers a ledger of victims spanning decades. Across the city, forensic pathologist Dr. Cael Holt examines the mutilated body of a journalist who was investigating Draven's charity. Under Holt's scalpel, the lies meticulously carved into the victim's flesh begin to unravel—revealing that the dead are the only ones who refuse to wear a mask. As Sorrel fights to survive the next hunt and Holt follows a trail of exhumed secrets, their paths converge on a truth stitched into the bones of the forgotten: death strips away every pretense, leaving only what cannot be denied.
