The Silenced Inheritance

In the near future, singer Lila Astrid discovers her grandmother’s journals from the infamous AI voice-theft lawsuit, Astrid v. Van der Woude et al. When a solar cataclysm annihilates all digital law, society crumbles overnight. The Van der Woude family, armed with hoarded tech and a chilling eugenic creed, erects a brutal new order from the ashes. Lila learns that her own blood carries the very "Alpha sequence" the Van der Woudes worship—a genetic marker for ruthless leadership long latent in her lineage. As the last law collapses, she must confront a horrifying truth: wickedness can be an inheritance, and the most terrible evil often wears a familiar face. Forged in the crucible of a fresh start, she must decide whether to surrender to the blood’s dark song or rewrite her destiny.
