The Unranked Citadel – Paperback

Twelve days remain before compulsory renewal. Renn still has one pattern socket, an injured hand, and no easy way to keep an order from reaching inside a person’s class.

At the old citadel, survival begins with smaller problems: a broken pump, clean water, fuel, and neighbors who already have lives and claims of their own. Renn can read what broken tools remember. That does not give him the right to decide for the people who use them.

With Ila, Bex, and Tovan, he must face the approaching deadline while learning what it means to build something together without taking control of it.

The Unranked Citadel is Book Three of The Unranked Forge, a LitRPG and progression-fantasy series about repair, responsibility, and strength shared by choice.
