Debt of Silence

In the wake of Cyclone Valeria, a massive insurance fraud class action exposes the rot within the Valorian corporate elite. But for lead plaintiff attorney Caleb Vance, the case is personal: the defendant CEO is Julian Ashford, the man who orchestrated his brutal humiliation at Blackwood Academy twenty-five years ago. As the courtroom becomes an arena for long-awaited revenge, every legal maneuver slices open the hidden connections between unchecked school bullying, institutional cover-ups, and systemic corporate greed. This is not just a trial—it is a social biopsy, revealing how the wounds of adolescence fester into the pathologies of power.
