He died in an alley. Then he got the offer of a lifetime.
Kade Mortimer was nobody-a background character in his own story, unlucky, unremarkable, unmissed. Until the night a mugger's knife ended his life, and the God of Stories offered him a second chance.
The catch? He has to play by the rules. The Narrative Operating System gives him daily words-currency he can spend to edit reality. Change his luck. Rewrite his past. Save his friends. But every edit creates debt. Every change has consequences. And the system always collects.
Now Kade is learning the truth: the words aren't meant to be hoarded. The real power isn't editing-it's telling. It's connection. It's community. It's the infinite story we build together.
But something hungry is watching from the white space between drafts. Something that learned to mimic love while consuming it. Something that wants the story to end.
To save everyone he's learned to love, Kade will have to spend everything. He'll have to become something the system never predicted. He'll have to prove that stories are stronger shared than hoarded, that witness defeats consumption, and that even total erasure can be undone-if you have enough hands to reach for you.
THE WORD THIEF is the first volume in THE INFINITE TELLING, a progression fantasy series that redefines LitRPG. Perfect for fans of The Wandering Inn, Cradle, and anyone who's ever wanted to rewrite their story.
