The Silk Snare

In the rain-slicked bureaucracy of the Federal Union of Avalonia, a clerk from the slums manipulates the Social Relief Insurance system to claw his way toward the aristocracy. Every forged file and silenced witness brings him closer to a judgeship, until a single, meticulously investigated disability claim threatens to unwind the intricate web of lies. This is a John le Carré-esque descent into moral corrosion, where the weight of a desperate past crushes the hollow shell of an ambitious present.
