The Advocate's Ruin

In the Federated States of Vespera, relentless lawyer Cassian Verne wages a constitutional war against the untouchable Consumer Protection and Regulatory Commission. His quest for procedural purity collides with Dorian Ash, a mad artist who transforms a series of ritualistic murders into a sublime act of creation. Cassian's pathological need to uncover the truth blinds him to the horror he is nurturing, until law and madness merge into a single, catastrophic exhibition designed to consume the state itself.
