One god.As riots spread and belief systems unravel, Layla is summoned to recite the split decree before a council that forbids interpretation. Across the ruins of the old world, Kian—a disgraced engineer who once helped design the OracleNet—uncovers traces of a forgotten command: Speak only what the builders write.Drawn together by a thread of forbidden memory, Layla and Kian descend into the heart of a system built on layered doctrine, engineered prophecy, and silence weaponized as control. What they find beneath the surface isn’t just a broken machine—it’s a god designed to fracture belief itself.As chaos spreads and the Voice refuses to speak again, one question lingers beneath the ash and wires:What if divinity was never meant to agree with itself?

The Innocence Lie

Corinne Arrowood

It was his responsibility to fight for those who could not fight, punish those who needed punishing, and righting the world of all the wrongs—to Captain Vicarelli, that was his mission even out of the Corps. Once separated from the Marines, he took his mission to his home, New Orleans, rife with murder, rape, and crime. The Corps had trained him and trained him well. He was a skillful killing machine of unusual propensity.
There was nothing average about the man; he stood six-five and was a wall of powerful, rippling muscle. Honorably discharged, with unwritten speculation of PTSD from the psych community, the Marine pursued the life of a civilian. It wasn’t his fault that there was crime around every corner, but he took his mission to heart, protecting, punishing, and eliminating the threats.
Trinity was his one weakness. His entire essence craved her tight little body full of sexy energy. Her caramel-colored skin, waist-length black hair, and cat-like ebony eyes lit an unquenchable fire in his body and soul. If fate were a friend, she would be his woman one day. Night after night, he sat at the end of Louie’s Tap mahogany bar, sipping on his two-finger pour of Glenlivet and watching as she swayed to the background music while mixing libations for the clientele.
Spring break hit the city, and with it came hoards of college students. When the Ole Miss group arrived at Louie’s, he observed the young men strut like peacocks, trying to allure the naïve young women. He took note of Jessica Lambert, who was different from the rest of the girls. She didn’t flirt or appreciate the unnecessary pawing of the boys. Vicarelli admired her refreshing innocence. Appearances were not always as they seemed, even to the well-trained, observant eyes of the Marine Raider.
