Beneath the Glow

In the rain-slicked city of Veridia, the neon towers promise justice but deliver only silence. When former welder Elias Vane is crushed by a faceless federal benefits system that denies his disability claim, he learns that the law is a weapon wielded by the powerful against the weak. Armed with nothing but rage and a methodical mind, he begins a bloody campaign to dismantle the bureaucracy that stole his life—one official at a time. But as the bodies fall and the hunt intensifies, Elias confronts the terrifying truth: the system that created him is only mirrored in the monster he has become, and the city’s brilliant lights can never wash away the blood on his hands.
