The Coin of Forever 

When billionaire Jensen Statler accepts a coin from a beggar outside the Monte Carlo casino, he thinks he’s buying time. He’s wrong. He’s signing a contract older than the universe.

The coin doesn’t grant miracles—it collects debts. And the moment it enters Jensen’s life, the world begins to tilt: mirrors lag, clocks lose seconds, and the city forgets him in patches. As the coin burrows deeper, Jensen is pulled into a cosmic audit where every regret becomes a creature, every lie becomes a weight, and every stolen heartbeat demands to be repaid.

Far from him, a dying girl named Sofia Mendes is returned to life for one impossible moment—a miracle that was never meant for her. And televangelist Simon Starling, hungry for power he doesn’t understand, mistakes the echo of that miracle for a calling.

Above them all, a golden wound opens in the sky.

From it descend the Regurgitant Angels—beings of memory and consequence—and Jensen Statler must face the moment that shaped his life: a boy falling through quarry air, and the refusal that echoed for forty years.

A cosmic‑horror fable about debt, mercy, and the oldest contract in creation, Nyxalath opens the Fracture Mythos with a single devastating truth: the universe keeps perfect books, and every refusal waits to be answered.
