KAYEN: Nobody Rises

A starving nineteen-year-old is shipped across the sea as cargo, sealed in a salt container with twenty-one others. When the smuggler locks the doors and leaves them all to die, Veshan has one gift that might save them: he can read any body, and he is never wrong. A jaw that tightens on one word. A throat that swallows. Feet that point at the exit while the mouth keeps talking. He sees every lie. But knowing the truth is not the same as surviving it. In the rich port city of Corvane, a nobody with no papers, no money and no name has to decide how far he will go to stay alive, and who he will become on the way up. KAYEN: Nobody Rises is a grounded crime saga about a boy who rises from cargo to the top of a city's underworld, and the price of every step. Content note: violence, death, human trafficking.
