The Verdania Reckoning

Ethan Cross, a mechanic, witnesses a clandestine meeting between a judge and a crime lord. Branded a murderer in a rigged trial presided over by the very judge he exposed, he must navigate a city where every institution is a weapon aimed at him. As the noose tightens, Ethan discovers that the law is a cold-blooded contract written to protect the powerful, and conscience is a bloody gamble that demands the sacrifice of the most helpless souls.
