In Defense of the Righteous is a dark allegorical thriller set beneath Levy Ridge, where missing children draw Detective Dani Francis, war-haunted veteran Jake Tinsley, and reckless Rally Gillum into a City that judges all it ensnares. Within its quarters—the Market of Balances, Temple of Absolutes, Quarter of Shadows, and Labyrinth of Mirrors—justice is merciless and alive. The Archivist records, the Enforcers march, and the Deceiver waits in the Central Court. A tale of innocence under siege and truth on trial, every choice is weighed, every past act returns, and no one leaves unchanged—a psychological descent and propulsive thriller in one.
