Pale Justice

In the gaslit alleys of Veridia, a brilliant barrister—Julian Rawls—orchestrates a series of "experimental" murders to prove that logic can outrun law. Yet each perfect crime etches a scar on his soul, and when the ghost of his first victim begins to haunt his reflections, he must choose between the altar of reason and the abyss of guilt. A tale where rules are but cold footnotes of power, and conscience flickers like dying phosphorus in the city's grey cracks.
