Blood Verdict

When a devastating electromagnetic pulse erases all law in the Federal Republic of Cadmos, attorney Elias Vane watches his hard-won court victory against the Federal Investigation Agency crumble in an instant. The agency's disgraced former director—Elias's uncle, Jacob Vane—seizes the chaos, building a savage new order on the ruins of justice. But as Elias fights to survive and resist, he discovers a horrifying truth: his family's blood carries an ancestral lust for domination, a hidden sickness that now stirs inside him. Trapped between rebellion and the pull of inherited savagery, he must decide whether to destroy the monster his uncle has become, or become the next heir to brutality.
