The Quarry King
(2025)(The fourth book in the RPG Oathrunner series)
A novel by Bogdan Chugunov and Craig Zerf
The quarry sings. The lane answers. No one gets to be king.
When a canyon-sized pit starts throwing echo-waves and politics, Miles Kade—Oathrunner, rules-first, hands-in-pockets—takes his convoy inland. With Tamsin Rook on Nodes, Dr. Imani on vetoes, Raya on ledgers, and Ghost (law with fur) holding the lane, they’ll rewrite a stone yard that thinks ‘safety’ is a stamp and ‘tribute’ is a fee.
Shock-nets, foam plays, and fake ‘safety escorts''' won’t cut it. The team brings boring that wins: bell codes, chalk, and the non-negotiable gospel—NO DUETS (never overlap HUM and Node). From the Bridge of Dust to the Gantry Groan to high-ledge surge runs, the crew turns chaos into cadence, pays an old Archivist debt with a tin-lung repair, and forces a very public Zero-Tithe Covenant at knee height.
What you’ll get
