When the body of Councilman Thomas Everard is discovered in his office, clutching a strange key marked with cryptic symbols, forensic investigator Dr. Eliza Kain is called to the scene. What begins as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a deadly conspiracy. The symbols carved into the desk and the synthetic residue on the councilman's hands point to something far beyond a political murder-they lead to the Concordant Order, a shadowy group rumored to control secrets buried deep beneath the city.
Eliza, guided by her late mother's mysterious research into ancient symbols, must join forces with grizzled detective Marcus Hale to follow the trail of hidden codes, underground tunnels, and long-buried truths. As the investigation deepens, they uncover a web of power, betrayal, and experimentation that could alter the city's future forever.
Each discovery brings them closer to understanding the councilman's role in the Order-and the lengths to which its members will go to protect their secrets. But as traps close in around them, Eliza realizes that the answers she seeks could come at the ultimate price.
