THE SHADOW LEGACY: The Architect's Promise
"Everything needs structure. Even justice."
In 1996 Tokyo, Yuta Matsumoto was a brilliant architecture student until the White Serpent Yakuza executed his best friend. That night, the student died, and "The Architect" was born a man who didn't just want revenge, but wanted to redesign the underworld from its foundations.
Fast forward to 2020. Two women on opposite sides of the globe are about to discover they are bound by a legacy written in blood and blueprints:
Aaliyah Long (New Orleans): A vibrant rebel with neon hair and a tactical mind, who inherits a mysterious mahogany chest and a brass birdcage from her dying mother. Hidden inside is a key to "BALANCE" a global map of corruption known as the Purification List.
Dr. Shiori Choi (Seoul): A top-tier psychiatrist who specializes in the architecture of the mind. She is pulled into the fray when she is summoned to evaluate a legendary prisoner in Tokyo: Yuta Matsumoto, the father she never knew.
When a corrupt officer in Texas discovers a supernatural black notebook the Death Note and begins "cleaning up" the town with lethal efficiency, the two sisters are drawn into a collision course in the heart of
Teague, Texas.
Aided by the enigmatic world-class detective L, who sees the world in logic but finds Aaliyah to be a "melody" he can't calculate, the sisters must embrace their heritage. With the Shinigami Eyes now granting them the power to see the structural weaknesses of life itself, Aaliyah and Shiori must complete their father's "synchronized demolition" of a global Syndicate.
From the humid streets of the Garden District to the frozen hell of a Siberian maximum-security prison, the Architects' daughters are no longer just reading the blueprint they're rewriting it.
The contract is 127 years long. The stakes are global. And the foundation is about to crack.
