AvA SiLicA and Eris Mirrane create a gripping legal conspiracy thriller revealing corruption within British judiciary elites. Judge Malcolm Thorpe discovers unsettling links between a seemingly routine murder at an elite antiquarian bookshop and his wife's enigmatic death. Sara's risky defense strategy leads her father and her to reveal how a secret society has manipulated British courts for nearly a century.
"Scales of Time" blends murder mystery with legal suspense and dark conspiracy through AvA's forensic courtroom focus and Eris's atmospheric narrative style. The sophisticated thriller explores disturbing questions about authority abuse and the hidden price of achieving justice within a system that safeguards its members.
Anyone who loves British crime fiction with intricate storytelling and conspiracy thrillers that explore moral grey areas and unexpected developments will find this perfect. This riveting first novel intertwines courtroom drama with deadly secrets and powerful shadowy organisations. It is an intelligent page-turner that makes readers question their understanding of who truly wields control over justice.
Eris Mirrane is a multidimensional figure: architect of stories and collector of fractured truths. Like the spaces they write about, their identity shifts depending on perspective, revealing different patterns when viewed from different angles. They write from the places between moments, where reality refracts like light through stained glass. Some claim that these writings can be found in rooms visible only when sunlight hits them at specific angles, but this might be another story seeking its own way to be told. The truth of their identity, like the stories they tell, depends entirely on where you stand when you look.
