Ancient judgment has awakened. The modern world is not prepared.
For nearly two thousand years, Aurelia Drusus has carried a burden no mortal was meant to bear—the ancient power to weigh the hearts of humanity.
Awakened into a world of glass towers, digital sins, and justice increasingly difficult to define, Aurelia discovers that the old laws are not so easily applied to the modern world. The guilty are everywhere. The innocent are not always innocent. And mercy may prove more dangerous than judgment.
As the bodies begin to accumulate and investigators close in, Aurelia must confront a question more terrifying than the power she carries:
Can justice without mercy ever truly be just?
