Backstory

Blood pooled beneath the chess board as twelve-year-old Oliver Blackwood calculated his next move, his father's body growing cold just three feet away. The boy had discovered Lucien wasn't just an abusive drunk—he was a member of an ancient occult society called The Bone Merchants, trafficking in stolen memories and selling fragments of human consciousness to the highest bidder. Marie Blackwood emerged from the shadows where she'd been watching, revealing herself not as a helpless victim but as a rival memory-thief who had spent years positioning her son as the perfect weapon against her former partner. She began training Oliver to harvest thoughts through touch, teaching him that every assassination could yield precious intel stored in a target's dying moments. When The Serpent's Tongue recruited him at sixteen, they had no idea they were gaining an operative who could literally steal his victims' secrets with his bare hands, making him the most dangerous chess master in their ranks.
