Shadows of a Fallen God

In the wake of a landmark Supreme Court ruling on government coercion and social media censorship, the Republic of Lumina fractures. During the ancient Festa delle Ombre, masked revellers across the capital Astria begin committing synchronized, ritualistic murders. Disgraced criminal profiler Elise Walsh, pulled from self-imposed exile, discovers that each crime scene is a scripture written in blood. To stop the carnival from turning into a mass sacrifice, she must profile not a single killer, but a collective demon awakened in the void left by a silent God. Every analysis is an attempt to trace the shadows God abandoned, and a journey to redeem a soul shattered by her own past.
