Heretic's Alloy

Cael Morrow has one rule: debts of loyalty are paid in full. It's the only currency he trusts in Valdren City, where Alchemists and Clergy divide every street corner and a wrong word gets you disappeared by either side.
When an explosion tears through the heart of the city - killing dozens and leaving behind anomalies no Alchemist or Cleric can explain Cael pulls a child from the rubble and nearly dies doing it. He survives. He shouldn't have.
The Independent Division of Anomalous Affairs comes to his door three days later. Not to thank him.
Because the way he survived left a signature in the wreckage - one that reads as both Alchemical and Clerical simultaneously. Impossible. Illegal. And proof of something he was never supposed to know about his parents.Now Cael works cases that neither faction wants solved - while both quietly begin to wonder what exactly walks the city's streets wearing a detective's badge.
In a city built on a lie, the most dangerous thing is a man who is living proof of it.
And someone always knew he existed.
