In a world where justice can be bought, where power shields the guilty and the innocent are left to bleed, one man dares to forge a new order. Lysander Thorne, a brilliant lawyer and strategist, is tired of watching the system crumble under corruption. With a mind sharp as a blade and a heart burning for justice, he conceives Lex Talionis-a brotherhood born not from law, but from vengeance. By his side stands Seraphine Thorne, his wife and fiercest critic, a lawyer bound by oath yet chained by a system she no longer trusts. Torn between upholding her vows and following her husband's dangerous vision, she becomes the voice of conscience in a world ruled by shadows. Together with five others-an archivist, an advocate, an arbiter, an examiner, and a sentinel-they will deliver judgment where the courts have failed. But once a fire like this is lit, it cannot be controlled. And the question remains, in creating a world of their own law, do they serve justice or become the very monsters they swore to destroy?

Maximilian is not just brilliant, he's dangerous. In court, he twists narratives to favor his clients, wielding technicalities and loopholes like weapons. But outside the courtroom, his mask drops. He is a ruthless chess player for the Brotherhood. Where Lysander envisions a society guided by justice, Maximilian manipulates justice itself, testing how far the scales can bend before they break. A man so corrupted by his own brilliance finds unexpected balance and redemption in Isabella Castille, a warm-hearted baker who represents everything simple and good, yet stronger than she appears. Through her, Maximilian confronts not only love but the question of what true justice is, winning... or being right?
