Broken Transit

In the sun-scorched alleys of Sorenzia, a fictional impoverished nation, the prestigious Lyceum Sainte-Foy seems a sanctuary. But for seventeen-year-old Lena, it is a hunting ground where students are scouted, groomed, and sold into the "Aetherium Pipeline"—a transnational trafficking ring feeding the opulent dystopia of Veloria. Framed for a classmate's murder mirroring the Vasanta Sampat Dupare case, Lena is abducted and swept into a nightmare that spans continents. Beneath the polished corridors of her school, she discovers a brutal rehearsal for the adult world's darkest commerce. The story unfolds as a slow-burning revenge thriller, revealing how the rules of survival learned in the classroom become weapons in a blood-soaked chain from poverty to privilege.
