The Ward of Debt

Nneoma works the night shift at Odimene General Hospital, a sprawling, hidden facility where the day staff files away injuries they cannot explain, and the night staff deals with the monsters who caused them. As a Scavenger, Nneoma can touch any broken object and see exactly what it used to be. She uses this skill to scrape together a living, hiding from a supernatural debt she inherited. But when Kameke—a lethal debt collector for the hidden ward bosses—comes to collect a price that cannot be paid in money, Nneoma is forced onto a deadly transport route through the hospital's deepest, most dangerous stations. Bound together by an undeniable mate-bond that neither wants, they must survive a journey where the medicine is worse than the sickness, and the debt demands a piece of a soul.
