Rites of the Fallen

When indigenous activist C.W. dies under suspicious circumstances days after suing renowned archaeologist Julian Smith for stealing sacred rituals, private investigator Elena Marquez uncovers a chilling truth: Smith has been using the forbidden Zamoran curse to murder anyone who threatens his legacy. As witnesses vanish and corrupt institutions close ranks, Elena is forced to break every law she once swore to uphold. But the final confrontation in Smith's hidden temple unleashes a vengeance far older than any courtroom, proving that when justice demands illegality, the rot has already consumed society whole.
