The Scarlet Judicature
By @Grace
In the grim shadows of Veridian, where the Scales of Justice are perpetually tipped against the innocent, Elara Thorne navigates a world designed to crush the downtrodden. Possessing a unique 'Echo Sight' – the ability to witness echoes of past injustices imprinted on objects – Elara is a specter haunting the opulent halls of the powerful. Her heart, a battlefield of past betrayals, beats with a furious need for recompense, fueled by the unsolved disappearance of her younger sister. When a high-profile case involving a politician's missing daughter crosses her path, Elara sees not just a victim, but a chance to unravel the conspiracy that swallowed her own family. She must expose the rot at the city's core, but Veridian's elite will stop at nothing to bury their secrets, and Elara's relentless pursuit of truth could very well lead her to the same fate as those she seeks to avenge.
