Whispers in the Shadows, Vol. 2: The Architect of the Impossible

Mathematics never lies. But what if reality itself is a lie? Dr. Alaine Vance lives by one unyielding axiom: order reigns. As an engineer in Applied Mathematics, she is the high priestess of the Ratio. Her mission: to ensure the perfect structural integrity of The Axiom, the five monolithic towers designed to prove the absolute superiority of human logic. But the architect is Alex, the cold and brilliant visionary who carries the dark heritage of the Ashworth Manor within them. What began with a whisper and an impossible 1.5-meter deviation in a gothic wall has now been scaled into a system: a malignant architectural grammar infecting the entire city of Nova Aken and its very financial reality. As Alaine obsessively hunts for the source of the impossible Fault Code D-1.5 deep within The Axiom's foundation, she realizes the sinister truth: Alex didn't abandon the Ancestor's curse—they translated it into a Systemic Ritual Structure. Now, Alaine must enter into battle with an enemy who speaks the language of mathematics. She must design a Neutral Vector to correct the sum total of all the errors before 'The Architect of the Impossible' permanently shatters the Ratio and subjects humanity to a perfect, numerical chaos. The city is the new carrier. Gravity pulls at more than just aesthetics.
