Aku menatap cangkir kopi Saga yang berdebu, lalu perlahan beralih pada bayangan di jendela kaca yang buram. Di sana, di permukaan kaca yang kotor, aku tidak melihat pantulanku sendiri.

The Volkov Ledger: Book 2 The perfect marriage is a masterpiece of design. The perfect lie is built beneath it. Ares Volkov is a man driven by absolute calculation. When his family council forces him into a strategic marriage, it is a proposal too lucrative to refuse-an alliance that promises to completely satisfy his insatiable greed for wealth, corporate dominance, and unassailable high-sector reputation. By every public metric, marrying the brilliant and fiercely confident Elizabeth Ashbourne is the ultimate power move. But Ares has never balanced his ledger by giving up what is already his. He refuses to part with his most prized possession, the property he spent so much energy acquiring. To navigate this impossible tightrope, Ares designs a chilling architectural solution: a state-of-the-art subterranean house built directly beneath the pristine marble foundations of his new marital estate. Above ground, he is the picture of dynastic success beside his new bride. Below ground, hidden entirely from the world, Sheizah is quietly relocated into the high-tech sub-levels. Bound by a marriage of convenience on the surface and anchored to a dark obsession in the dark, Ares must play a flawless game of control. How long can a man rule an empire when he is living a double life right under his own roof? The network is watching. The ledger is open. Will you step beneath the foundations?

Veridia is a metropolis built on gilded lies and silent decay. Behind the sparkling skyscrapers and high-society galas lies a moral wasteland ruled by corrupt politicians, predatory elites, and ruthless tycoons who evade the law with casual ease. To Lucius Sterling-a wealthy, highly respected art curator and philanthropist-the city is a dying canvas that needs to be cleansed. Utilizing his immense wealth, sociopathic detachment, and terrifyingly precise intellect, Lucius assumes the mantle of "The Sovereign". He embarks on a crusade of poetic justice, executing Veridia's most powerful sinners according to the 7 Deadly Sins. Each murder is staged as a flawless, clinical masterpiece of terror, designed to expose the victims' depravity before destroying them. The city plunges into a state of exquisite paranoia. To halt the panic, the Federal Bureau deploys its absolute weapon: Detective Keith Hayward. Young, disheveled, and hopelessly addicted to sugar, Keith possesses an erratic, mind-bending capacity for deduction that rivals Lucius's own. As the body count rises, a lethal game of intellectual chess begins. Lucius orchestrates his grand finale, while Keith unpicks the impossible threads of the crimes. But on this chessboard, every move has been anticipated, and the final sacrifice-dedicated to the sin of Pride-will rewrite the rules of the game forever.
