The Grey Between

In the rain-slicked streets of Crestfall, seventeen-year-old Caleb Ross stumbles into the darkest corner of the internet—the Pale Door forum—where he witnesses the live execution of Clara Holt, the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against Gatekeeper Financial over predatory overdraft fees. When Clara vanishes and the authorities turn a blind eye, Caleb realizes the law has already been bought. Marked for death by the Aegis Network, a global cabal of killers who sanitize financial scandals, he must disappear into the grey space between justice and survival, rewriting his own fate among the forgotten ghosts the legal system left behind.
