The Obsidian Algorithm

In the wake of a landmark federal jurisdiction case, Sturgeon v. Frost, a disgraced antiquities lawyer stumbles upon "Abyss Mirror," a clandestine platform whose algorithm predicts and exploits humanity's darkest desires. Drawn into a world of perfect forgeries, he uncovers a decades-long conspiracy where hyper-realistic fake antiquities are used as weapons to destroy rival dynasties. As families crumble into bankruptcy and bloodshed, he must confront a terrifying truth: the algorithm knows every hidden obsession, and the line between hunter and prey is written in code.
