The Gilded Slaughter

In the opulent city of Westhaven, revered philanthropist August Vane runs the Horizon Foundation, a beacon of hope for troubled teens. But beneath the gilded charity lies a sadistic hunting ground where the powerless become prey. When Kael, a desperate young addict, breaks into Vane’s mansion and discovers a ledger of names, he stumbles into a deadly chase. Forensic pathologist Dr. Isolde Vance performs the autopsy on a dead boy and finds that under her scalpel, every tissue tells a truth that no polished lie can mask. As death strips away all pretense, Kael must transform from prey into survivor, rewriting his fate amid a conspiracy that blurs the line between savior and slaughterer.
