Sinossi

Karianne Woods dreamed of a city of gold among the stars. Now, that dream is reality. Within her revolutionary VR platform, Elysium, a shimmering metropolis has appeared—Minerva’s Metaverse, a forgotten academy once graced by the gods.  Chosen by Minerva herself, Karianne is tasked with safeguarding the Metaverse’s divine knowledge, a digital Library of Alexandria waiting to be reborn. But she’s not alone. Classics professor Theodore Miller, haunted by a past archaeological tragedy, and neuroscientist Deanna Daniels, wrestling with the ethics of cognitive enhancement, are drawn into this digital odyssey.Their quest is not without peril. Ruthless tech mogul Victor Osborne sees the Metaverse as the ultimate weapon, a means to manipulate history and enslave human consciousness.  As Osborne’s insidious network infiltrates Elysium, Karianne, Theodore, and Deanna find themselves in a digital war, battling across breathtaking virtual landscapes and the stark realities of their own world.Theodore finds solace in the Metaverse's digital recreation of ancient Rome, his archaeological skills unlocking hidden pathways and secrets left by Minerva herself.  Deanna races against Osborne’s manipulations, her neuroscientific expertise crucial to understanding how his code is rewiring the very fabric of thought.  Karianne, meanwhile, grapples with a chilling realization: Minerva’s gift isn't just knowledge—it’s a weapon, and its power could reshape humanity’s future.Their journey takes them to the heart of Roman mythology, through treacherous simulations of historical events, and into the depths of their own deepest fears. They decipher the cryptic prophecies of the Sibylline Books, navigate the labyrinthine lair of the Minotaur, and face the terrifying reality of Osborne’s growing power, amplified by the Metaverse's distorted time flow.The final showdown takes place before Minerva’s Temple of Jupiter, a digital coliseum where the fate of human progress hangs in the balance.  Osborne, wielding a digital thunderbolt, threatens to unleash a cascade of misinformation, plunging the world into a digitally controlled dark age.  But Karianne, armed with newfound wisdom and the support of her allies, confronts Osborne, not with force, but with truth, igniting a battle for the very soul of knowledge itself.  Step into Minerva’s Metaverse, where the lines between the digital and the divine blur, and the future of human consciousness hangs in the balance.

    When a patient is electrocuted by a medical therapy device, the manufacturer proves it was tampered with. Who killed her? And what grudge did they hold against her doctor, whose reputation now lies in tatters?  
    The medical profession’s faith in electric shock therapies for treating female nervous conditions is shaken after a patient dies while connected to one such device. Harry Armitage is hired by the doctor arrested for her murder, and he invites Cleo to help him uncover the truth. After all, the doctor is the same one who tried—and failed—to treat Cleo’s aunt. As they dig deeper, it becomes apparent the doctor has failed other patients, too, and those patients’ loved ones want revenge. 
    Did that desire for revenge lead to the death of an innocent patient? Or did the victim have enemies of her own? As Cleo and Harry unravel the multi-layered mystery, they realize not everyone is who they seem. Suspects are hiding secrets that, if exposed, could shatter reputations and relationships.  
    Meanwhile, the manufacturer of a popular but highly addictive medicine has booked the Mayfair Hotel for a major presentation to important clients. As the day of the event looms, Cleo and Harry learn of a plot to sabotage it.  
    Can they solve the mystery and save the presentation? Or will it be ruined? And will someone get away with murder?
