The Fracture of Elias Asher

Words: 3124 · Source Novel:: Solitude's Equation

Elias Asher, a workshop owner in New Birmingham, loses his entire livelihood overnight when Obsidian Capital's fabricated panic decimates his stocks. On the morning he resolves to walk into the river, two police officers mistake him for a fugitive and shatter his collarbone during a traffic stop. He files suit as case Asher v. New Birmingham Police Department, becoming a ghost haunting a legal labyrinth. Elsewhere, reclusive quant Kael Solis detects the distinctive mathematical scar of Obsidian's manipulation and begins to code a retaliatory program, his only companion the hum of servers in an abandoned textile mill.
