The Stolen Rite

In the decaying city of New Atherton, within the Union of Columbia, anthropologist Dr. Elias Vane sees the legal system shield the powerful who destroyed his family. Abandoning the law, he deciphers a forbidden curse ritual from a lost indigenous culture, the “Gaze of Viracocha,” to deliver his own brand of justice. Detective Clara Morrow investigates a series of impossible deaths that defy science. But when the stolen ritual awakens an ancient consciousness that demands its own price, Vane discovers that justice bought through damnation only proves how utterly corrupt the world has become.
