Red Ledger: Everything Must Be Paid (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295819131)

When the world collapses, survival becomes the only law-until the ledger arrives.

Bound in red and written in something darker than ink, the book records everything. Every theft. Every act of mercy. Every cruel thought no one else could hear. And when the balance tips too far, collectors come to claim what is owed-not in money, but in flesh, blood, and the people you love.

Rho Kane has survived by doing what others wouldn't. Taking. Leaving. Ignoring. But when his own crimes begin to appear in the ledger, he realizes this is no ordinary record-it is a system. A calculation. A force that doesn't judge right or wrong, only imbalance.

As the city descends into paranoia, violence, and confession, Rho discovers the truth buried beneath the ruins: the ledger is nearing completion. And when every debt is accounted for, the final payment will not be individual.

It will be total.

Now Rho must make an impossible choice-destroy the system and let the guilty walk free, or allow the final accounting to proceed and condemn nearly everyone left alive.

Because in the end, everything must be paid.
